Three people arrested in Belfast on suspicion of controlling prostitution

November 3, 2024 by

THREE people have been arrested in Belfast as part of an investigation into human trafficking.

It follows a search at a property in the Annadale Embankment area of south Belfast on Friday night.

The three suspects — a 39-year-old woman and two men, aged 42 and 41 — were detained on suspicion of offences including brothel-keeping and controlling prostitution.

PSNI officers rescued two women during the search, who are believed to have been victims of human trafficking.

A sum of cash was also seized, while a follow-up search of a property in the Newtownards Road area uncovered three suspected firearms.

The suspects remained in custody on Saturday afternoon while police continue to offer specialist support to the rescued women.
