Police Scotland said a 28-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman were arrested and charged in connection with alleged offences in Glasgow.
It comes after an investigation by greater Glasgow’s dedicated Human Trafficking Unit, with Police Scotland confirming the arrests were made on Friday.

Detective Inspector Grant Currie said: “We are committed to working with our partners to pursue those involved in this type of criminality, with strong focus on safeguarding individuals who may be at risk of exploitation.
“Information from people within our communities is key to helping us identify those involved in committing these crimes against vulnerable people in our society.
“I would urge anyone with information or concerns about exploitation of any kind to contact Police Scotland on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
