A second man has been arrested on suspicion of modern day slavery
offences following raids at car washes.
Two Romanian men with burns on their hands and arms were rescued after
two sites were raided in Barnsley on 4 October.
A 30-year-old Albanian man is being questioned after he was detained at
an address in the town centre earlier.
A 24-year-old Romanian man was also in custody for the same offences but
was released pending further inquiries.
The victims suffered injuries to their hands and arms “through not
having the appropriate protective equipment when cleaning vehicles”, and
their ID cards and mobile phones had been withheld, the Gangmasters and
Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) said.
GLAA said its inquiry was ongoing to establish “if there are any
potential further victims”.
