Moment police raid brothel as they take down sex ring operating across the UK

June 2024 · 5 minute read

Police have released dramatic footage of raids on a huge sex ring operation at five brothels - as two men and a woman were jailed for more than seven years.

Officers smashed down the doors to the properties across the country after identifying houses where vulnerable women were being forced into sex work.

Surrey Police, working with Polish authorities, pieced together the gang members before arresting them.

Mariusz Moniuszko, 39, of Corby, Northamptonshire, and Dariusz Sieredzinski, 34, of Kent, were found to be involved in running the brothels.

They posted adverts on adult websites, fraudulently rented properties and moved money to disguise their activities.

Justyna Sieredzinska, 30, of Kettering, and Magdalena Drozdzal, 29, of Purley, acted as the brothel receptionists, taking client bookings for the women.

They would often promise sexual activities the victims did not want to offer and in one case, a victim said she was forced to have sex up to 14 times a day.

`The investigation began after intel suggested a brothel was operating on Staines Road West in Sunbury-On-Thames.

Police raided the house on September 20, 2019, and the first victim was saved and helped them piece together the gang's sick activities.

The victim had been trafficked into the country by lorry, before working as a cleaner to pay back thousands of pounds she was told she had to pay to get in.

Her passport was taken from her and although she handed over her limited earnings, it was not enough to cover the debt and she was forced into sex work.

She was later introduced to the organised criminal group, who made her work long hours and perform sexual acts she did not want to

The group spanned across the UK and Poland and a Joint Investigation Team was set up to hunt them down.

Detective Sergeant Martyn Linton said: 'This was high-end organised criminality perpetrated by a dangerous group of individuals who preyed on females for profit.

'In dismantling the criminal group, we've identified over 100 women connected with the case and three were courageous enough to come forward and help speak out in court against their oppressors.

'This was one of the most extensive modern slavery human trafficking investigations we've ever pursued at Surrey Police and today's result shows that exploiters will be held accountable for their actions.

'Sadly though, we know there are still others out there who perpetrate this horrific crime type and we are continuing our work to target these criminals.

'We take all reports of modern slavery seriously, so if you suspect someone is being sexually exploited, please contact us.'
