The two men who were convicted are Polish nationals. Their names are Lukasz (age 28) and Jerzy (age 40). They are both members of a European trafficking gang. The gang members convince Polish workers that there is better work for them in the UK and that their life will improve once they have these jobs. Upon arriving with their victims they ask for an up-front sum of money to pay for ‘housing’. The workers are taken to Halcar Tavern on Carwood Grove in Sheffield, UK where they are housed in despicable conditions. The men are transported to work and back for the first week. No pay is given to the men and then once the first week is over they begin to use violence (baseball bats) to coerce the men into working further. Initially the investigations led the officers to suspect 26 victims, but that number has since changed to be over 130 polish nationals that were trafficked over a period of two years. As well, there were two other men who were arrested and still await a trial. http://7thspace.com/headlines/359712/uk_human_trafficking_gang_sentenced_to_six_years.html "The court heard that Bala would collect victims from coach stations, rail stations and airports before taking their money and driving them to the derelict Halcar Tavern, in the Burngreave area of the city. Both and Bala and Adamowicz lived in the pub alongside the workers, who were told to sleep on mattresses on the floor in conditions described as "filthy" and "stinking" by investigators." http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/Two-jailed-over-jobs-scam.6572850.jp "Two other members of the gang who ran the operation from Poland have been arrested. They were caught in Britain and have been extradited to their home country to stand trial." http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/Two-jailed-over-jobs-scam.6572850.jp

3 Eastern European men from Kosovo, Albania & Lithuania trafficked 2 girls (18 & 19 years old) from Lithuania to Sheffield (one girl was further trafficked to London – this case can also be viewed on Slavery Map). On arrival at Gatwick airport, their passports were taken and they were auctioned to a group of men in the ‘Costa’ coffee bar. They were then taken to a flat in Sheffield to begin ‘working’ under threat of torture or death. They were told that they would be kept in baths of ice or shot dead if they refused to sleep with who they were told. The traffickers also threatened that if they disobeyed, they would be sold onto traffickers in London, who would lock them up and give them no food. Both girls were never left unattended and all calls were monitored.
