Several people in a Cheshire religious group have been arrested as part of an investigation into sexual offences and forced marriage.
Officers received reports of several serious offences alleged to have involved members of a group known as the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light.
In March, detectives from Cheshire Police were made aware of allegations of serious sexual offences, forced marriage and modern slavery, reported to have taken place in 2023.
All of the offences involved one victim, a woman, who was a member of the group at the time the offences occurred.
Following a detailed investigation into the allegations, officers have today conducted three warrants in Crewe, including Webb House, Victoria Avenue, leading to the arrest of several people.
