Five people have been arrested as part of an investigation into alleged human sex trafficking on Teesside. Cleveland Police said it had carried out a year-long inquiry into "vulnerable people" being moved from Brazil to Middlesbrough and Hartlepool.

The moves comes three weeks after Janel Grant filed an amended lawsuit against wrestling mogul Vince McMahon, WWE and John Laurinaitis.

The investigation started when police discovered a 13-year-old girl was being passed around by multiple groups of traffickers operating in the Bay Area.
