Two people have been arrested as part of an investigation into slavery and domestic servitude at a house in London.
The inquiry was launched after one of three alleged victims told a charity she had been held against her will for more than 30 years.
Scotland Yard said the Freedom Charity, which advises and supports victims of forced marriages or honour-based violence, got in touch after they received a call following a TV documentary.
Further inquiries by police revealed the location of the house and with the help of sensitive negotiations conducted by the charity, the three women were rescued.
One was a 69-year-old Malaysian woman, the other a 57-year-old Irish woman and the third a 30-year-old Briton.
