Nov. 14 (UPI) -- British police arrested 17 suspected human traffickers early Thursday and rescued more than two dozen women they'd been holding captive as part of a global ring, Scotland Yard investigators said.
The Metropolitan Police Service busted the ring with early morning raids in the London areas of Redbridge, Havering, Barking and Dagenham, Newham, Brentwood and Tower Hamlets. They said others were simultaneously arrested in Romania.
