Three men have been arrested following an investigation into modern day slavery at a car wash in Louth.

The arrested men, who are aged 19, 27 and 49, remain in police custody, according to the Lincolnshire force.

Since the initial report we've explored numerous lines of inquiry, including reviewing CCTV, house-to-house inquiries, consulting with the National Crime Agency and criminal profilers and working with Regional Scientific Support Services to explore all forensic opportunities available to us."

Ian Holloway is Grimsby Town's new manager.
The 56-year-old had been out of management since leaving his role as Queens Park Rangers boss in May 2018.
Holloway succeeds Michael Jolley, who was sacked on 15 November after a seven-game winless run.
"The board believes securing someone of Ian's experience and reputation demonstrates our commitment to bringing success back to Blundell Park," said majority shareholder John Fenty.
"We believe his track record of achieving success at unfashionable, underperforming clubs makes him an attractive long-term appointment."
The Mariners have not won a game in more than three months - a run of 15 games - and have slipped to 21st in League Two, six points above bottom side Stevenage.
Holloway has twice guided teams to promotion to the Premier League, winning the play-offs with Blackpool in 2010 and Crystal Palace in 2013.
As the end of 2019 draws nigh, BBC Weather Watcher Arlene Towriss was up early this morning to capture these stunning photos of the last sunrise of the decade at Cleethorpes beach:
Two off-duty police officers have saved the life of a three-year-old boy who was choking in the street in a North East Lincolnshire village.
The boy was with his parents when he fell ill and started having convulsions on Humberston Road in New Waltham on Monday.
They officers - who are husband and wife - saw they were in trouble and stopped to help out.
The pair, who wish to remain anonymous, gave the boy treatment and cleared his airways before an ambulance crew arrived and took him to hospital.
Humberside Police said they were "very glad" to say the boy and his parents were doing well.
The officers have played their actions down, but I’m extremely proud of what they did while off-duty today. It shows to me that all our officers across the force constantly work to protect our communities whether they are on or off-duty. To me, stepping up like this to look after people is the very essence of what makes us the police.”
A man suffered serious injuries after he was hit by a car being driven away from a property in Scunthorpe after what police describe as an "altercation".
The man was hit by the Peugeot car, which also hit two other vehicles on Warley Road, at about 21:30 on Sunday.
A 46-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of drinking and driving and assault, according to Humberside Police.
Officers said the man was taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries and has since been released.
