Police Scotland have targeted a fishing vessel over claims of modern slavery and labor exploitation.

BBC Scotland News witnessed the multi-agency operation which took place in a port on the west coast.

A 38-year-old man was arrested and two Ghanaian fishermen were removed from the boat. A second man in his 50s was arrested in another port and charged with human trafficking offences.

Police said the reports will be forwarded to the fiscal prosecutor.

At the beginning of this year, BBC Disclosure investigated claims of modern slavery and labor abuse of migrant workers in Scotland’s fishing fleet.
