Traveller site raid again in Cardiff area
http://http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-...wales-33273627
I see they are at it again, looks like another potential case of forced labour.
Quote:
Swords, machetes and a handgun were seized during Wednesday's operation targeting travellers' sites in Cardiff, police said.
Protecting 13 people from forced labour was a "critical element" of the raids.
More than 250 officers and staff swooped on New House Farm, the Shirenewton caravan site and a house in Rumney on Wednesday, making 20 arrests.
The operation by South Wale Police targeted organised criminality in the traveller community.
On Wednesday morning, 20 people were arrested for offences, including suspected forced labour, money laundering, theft and large scale abstraction of electricity.
Among the items seized by police were luxury cars including a Ferrari and Range Rover, weapons and a substantial amount of cash.
