A man and woman from Redditch have been given a Slavery and Trafficking Risk Order after the discovery of two women locked in rooms.

Police attended a property on Evesham Road in Redditch after a 999 call in which a woman sounded like she was in distress, was made but then dropped.

When they arrived at midnight on November 15 last year a woman told them they were not required - they left but had concerns so carried out further enquiries.

They discovered the number that had called 999 did not belong to the occupant.

Officers returned and found two women locked in rooms who are believed to be the victims of modern slavery.

They also found large amounts of cash at the address.

A man, 38, and woman, 36 were arrested on suspicion of false imprisonment and are currently on bail, police said today (Friday April 19).

Whilst the investigation continues, officers applied to the court for the orders to be put in place at the property on Evesham Road in Redditch.
