People smuggling accused remanded
Five people charged with smuggling people into the UK for prostitution have been remanded in custody.

The four men and one woman were held in raids in Surrey, Kent and London.

They appeared before magistrates in Reigate, Surrey, on Monday and were remanded for a hearing before Guildford Crown Court on 6 July.

They have been charged with human trafficking into the UK for sexual exploitation, false imprisonment and controlling prostitution for gain.

The five are Vincent Calleja, 44, a property developer from Lower Kingswood, Surrey; Ian Lindsey, 43, a company director, unemployed Maxine Soper, 24, and Daniel Ghitulan, 18, an unemployed Romanian citizen, all from Tadworth, Surrey; and 20-year-old Cherice McIntosh, a student from Beckenham, south-east London.
