A police force bordering Shropshire has asked residents to keep their eyes peeled for signs of 'pop-up brothels' potentially linked to modern slavery and exploitations.
North Wales Police, which covers the Chirk area, has posted a warning on its Facebook page to alert about women from Eastern Europe, Thailand, and Nigeria who are forced into sex.A police spokesman said:"Modern slavery and sexual exploitation can happen in 'pop-up brothels'.
"These are usually newly acquired properties, privately rented flats or houses, in towns and cities, budget hotels or holiday properties which may only be used as a brothel for a short period of time. "Many of the women forced to work in these brothels are Eastern European, Thai, and Nigerian; and may also be living in the property for the short period of time the brothel is running.
Police ask that if you think a pop-up brothel may be operating near you, you can report anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or complete a form online at
