Men arrested in slavery investigation bailed

Six men arrested on suspicion of modern-day slavery offences in Devon have been bailed, police said.

The group was arrested by Devon and Cornwall Police after a crash involving a van and lorry on Dolvin Road in Tavistock on 19 May led to the discovery of eight potential modern-day slavery victims.

Police said the suspected victims, who had all been receiving support, were identified in the van involved in the crash and at an address in the Gulworthy area.

The force added an investigation into the incident was ongoing.
