A MAN from Bradford is among three people who were remanded to appear before court today following a Humberside Police-led operation to tackle modern day slavery and drug dealing.
The three were arrested on Tuesday after the force's Organised Crime Team – supported by officers from the Regional Organised Crime Team, West Yorkshire Police and British Transport Police – carried out simultaneous warrants in Grimsby, Leeds and Bradford.
Shah Hazrat, 32, of Chatham Street, Bradford, is charged with forcing a teenager and a vulnerable adult into compulsory labour, conspiracy to supply cocaine, conspiracy to supply heroin and facilitating the travel of a teenager, with the view to him being exploited.
Also charged with the same offences is Andrew Fox, 34, of Kingsway Garth, Leeds.
Jason Gladding, 30 of Frederick Street, Grimsby, is charged with forcing a teenager and a vulnerable adult into compulsory labour, conspiracy to supply cocaine, conspiracy to supply heroin.
A 25-year-old Bradford woman and 28-year-old Bradford man arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine and offences under the modern day slavery act, have been released on conditional bail pending further enquiries.
