Arrest Made As Police Investigate Modern Slavery In Uckfield

Police investigating suspected modern slavery activity in Uckfield have seized cash and made an arrest.

On Thursday (3 September) officers from East Sussex Project Discovery executed a warrant to search the Uckfield Nail Bar in Uckfield High Street, and a flat nearby.

Documents were seized at both locations and £4000 cash was seized at the flat.

A 31-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of requiring the carrying out of forced labour, contrary to Section 1 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

She has been released on bail until 23 September while enquiries continue.

No other arrests were made.
