A MAN and woman from Reading have been arrested as part of an operation targeting sex trafficking.

Officers from the UK Border Agency swooped on four addresses in Reading and one in Northampton last week.

A British man, aged 51, from the Reading area, was arrested on suspicion of human trafficking for sexual exploitation and controlling prostitution for gain.

A 22-year-old woman with dual British and Thai nationality, also from the Reading area, was arrested in Northampton on suspicion of assisting in the management of brothels.

Sergeant John Donachy from the South East region immigration crime team said: "This is part of a complex and ongoing investigation into the trafficking of women into the UK sex trade.

"Working together, the UK Border Agency and police are determined to create a hostile environment for traffickers and take action against those who break the law."

Both the arrested people were questioned at police stations in Reading and Northampton and were subsequently bailed to re-appear at a police station in Thames Valley next month (December)
