Six men have been charged with drugs and modern slavery offences after a series of police raids.

The men, aged between 18 and 26 years old, were arrested in Rochdale in connection with a child exploitation investigation.

They each face four counts of modern slavery, and three of supplying class A and B drugs.

All six, who are from Rochdale, are to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court later.
