Five arrests in 'slavery' raid at Greenacre travellers' siteTwenty-four men suspected of being held against their will have been found during a raid at a travellers' site.

Four men and a woman were arrested on suspicion of committing slavery offences in the raid at Greenacre travellers' site, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, on Sunday.

The men, who are English, Polish and Romanian, were found in "filthy and cramped" conditions, police said.

Detectives believe some may have been there for up to 15 years.

Those arrested are being held on suspicion of committing offences under the Slavery and Servitude Act 2010.

They are being held at police stations across Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.

Weapons, drugs and money were also found at the site, police said.

More than 200 officers were involved in the raids.

'Shockingly filthy conditions'

The men, all believed to have been victims of slavery, were taken initially to an undisclosed medical centre and given medical, health and social welfare care.

The local authority is now co-ordinating their social and medical needs, while police liaison officers will keep in close touch with them.

Det Chief Insp Sean O'Neil said: "The men we found at the site were in a poor state of physical health and the conditions they were living in were shockingly filthy and cramped.

"We believe that some of them had been living and working there in a state of virtual slavery, some for just a few weeks and others for up to 15 years.

"Because of the number of victims and suspects and the size of the site, we needed the assistance of many officers from specialist units today.

"A small number of officers are remaining at the site to complete searches and to liaise with the residents. The offences that are being investigated are extremely serious."

Police have appealed for help and ask anyone with any information to contact them in confidence.

During the operation, Bedfordshire Police were assisted by officers from the UK Human Trafficking Centre.

Police joined forces with dog handling sections, helicopter and firearms support units, to execute search warrants at the traveller site.

You only get a free meal if they fail to give you a 15 minute break on your 8 hour
shift. Otherwise you pay but get an employee discount.

I was the cook.

Is "travelers" the politically correct term for what they used to call a gypsy?

I think it was the real gypsies that objected......

I am careful about hating on an entire group of people but travelers are doing their best to change that.
