“This part of the operation targeted brothels in the region and eight arrests were made for managing or assisting in managing a brothel. This is a local priority for many of the Neighbourhood teams involved”
“Thames Valley Police once again want to thank communities for their help in identifying those who profit from crime. I want to urge anyone with information to call police or Crimestoppers. We will continue to seek opportunities to seize cash and assets obtained through any criminal activity”
