Scottish police target human traffickers
21.02.06
A major police operation against human trafficking, involving Scotland's eight police forces, is has been launched. Scottish officers will join colleagues from England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 'Operation Pentameter'. In addition to the disruption of trafficking, the operation will include support for victims arriving in the UK.
Passengers arriving at Prestwick Airport today on a flight from Poland will be the first in Scotland to encounter Operation Pentameter. Officers will hand out leaflets in Polish asking if passengers have travelled willingly.
The Police forces said they were responding to issues such as the hundreds of women who travel to the UK each year believing they will gain employment, but instead find they have been tricked by international crime gangs into the sex trade.
