The force said it was told a man had alleged he was forced to live in the abattoir and work around the clock to pay off “extortionate debts” that were said to be associated with a sponsorship visa and travel expenses.

The team involved in the late-night raid interviewed 30 workers onsite and seized mobile phones, computer equipment and documentation as its investigations continue.

Det Sgt Lee Attenborough said: “Modern slavery is happening across Greater Manchester, and we encourage anyone who is a victim of this crime, or suspect someone they know could be, to report it.

“You will always be taken seriously, and protection and support is available.”
