A vast trafficking network led by a woman known as “Freya Ice Queen” recruited Thai women before trapping them in 26 brothels across London and Kent. At least 24 were exploited through crushing debts and seized passports, while one was smuggled across the English Channel hidden inside a vehicle. The gang was exposed after Thai women tipped off police and identified “Freya Ice Queen”. Now four traffickers have been jailed for almost 23 years following a major Metropolitan Police investigation.

A sprawling trafficking network brought at least 24 Thai women to Britain before exploiting them across 26 brothels. The operation stretched across London and Kent, with women recruited thousands of miles away in Thailand. Many arrived on visitor visas before being moved into prostitution. Their passports were routinely taken and huge debts imposed.

At least one woman entered Britain through an even more secretive route. She was brought from the Netherlands and hidden inside the back of a vehicle. The vehicle then crossed the English Channel with the Thai woman concealed inside. Police have not identified her, her age or where she lived in Thailand.

Now, four people behind the operation have been jailed for almost 23 years. Woolwich Crown Court sentenced them on Friday, September 18. The sentences followed an extensive Metropolitan Police investigation and a seven-week trial involving three defendants.

Thai women’s missing passports lead police to a sprawling network of 26 brothels across London and Kent

At the centre of the investigation were Thai women who first told police their passports had disappeared. They identified a woman known as “Freya” or “Freya Ice Queen”. That information pushed detectives beyond their original investigation and into a far larger network.

From there, officers traced 26 brothels across London and Kent. Two properties were owned by one defendant. Detectives also identified 24 Thai women who arrived in Britain during 2025. Police believe the organisation exploited all 24.

The women had travelled thousands of miles after being targeted in Thailand. Frequently, their journeys initially appeared legitimate. Many entered Britain on visitor visas before being taken to brothels.

Once there, their circumstances changed sharply. The women were told they owed substantial sums of money. According to police, those debts could reach tens of thousands of pounds. They were then required to provide sexual services to repay them.

At the same time, passports were routinely removed from their possession. That left women isolated and dependent upon those controlling them. Police later recovered three victims’ passports during raids on the network.

The Channel smuggling operation provided another major strand of the case. One woman travelled through the Netherlands rather than entering Britain directly. She was placed inside the rear of a vehicle before being driven across the Channel.

Notably, police have revealed little more about that journey. They have not identified the woman or disclosed her age. Her Thai home province or city also remains undisclosed. Likewise, investigators have not said how she originally reached the Netherlands.

The Metropolitan Police has also not identified the Channel crossing used. However, detectives established that she was concealed inside the vehicle when brought into Britain.

The investigation began during 2025 with an apparently separate police inquiry. Officers were carrying out welfare checks at brothels connected with another investigation. During those visits, they encountered Thai women working inside the premises.

Critically, those conversations changed the direction of the investigation. Women told officers that their passports had been confiscated. They also identified “Freya” or “Freya Ice Queen” to detectives.

Armed with that information, investigators began following connections outside the original inquiry. The trail quickly expanded across London and Kent. Financial records, digital evidence and other material exposed connections between defendants, women and individual brothels.

In parallel, police began establishing how women had reached Britain. Investigators found that women were targeted in Thailand before their travel was arranged. Many then entered Britain using visitor visas.

Yet arrival was only the first stage. Women were moved into brothels and presented with substantial debts. Police said those liabilities could reach tens of thousands of pounds. Sexual services were then required to repay the money.

Meanwhile, investigators continued mapping the British side of the organisation. Eventually, 26 brothels were connected with the network. Significantly, one defendant owned two of the identified properties.

Police then launched a safeguarding operation covering every known brothel. Officers visited all 26 locations in an attempt to locate women connected with the network. By that stage, however, many had disappeared or moved elsewhere.

Separately, detectives identified 24 Thai women who arrived in Britain during 2025. Police believe all were exploited by the organisation. Their names have not been released.

The investigation moved decisively on October 22, 2025. Metropolitan Police officers executed six warrants as they moved against the organisation. Altogether, seven locations were searched.

The raids uncovered £57,145 in cash. Officers also found a cash-counting machine, adding another financial strand to the investigation. Designer watches and handbags were recovered during the searches.

In addition, police seized mobile phones and SIM cards. Bank cards were also taken as evidence. However, one discovery directly matched what Thai women had previously told investigators.

Police found the passports of three victims.

Those documents became particularly significant because passport confiscation had helped expose the network. Women had originally told officers their travel documents were being held by people controlling them.

Following the raids, detectives combined the seized material with evidence already gathered. Financial records helped establish connections throughout the operation. Digital material provided further links between people and properties.

On another front, investigators continued examining the movement of women through the brothels. They also traced connections between defendants and individual premises. Eventually, the evidence produced criminal proceedings against four people.

Achareeya Spurr, 49, of Saint David’s Square in east London, faced three charges. She was born on October 10, 1976. Unlike the other defendants, Spurr pleaded guilty.

She admitted conspiracy to commit human trafficking. She also admitted conspiracy to control prostitution for gain. Furthermore, Spurr admitted acquiring, using or possessing criminal property.

Woolwich Crown Court handed her the heaviest sentence. Spurr was jailed for seven years and eight months.

Three men, however, contested the charges. They went through a seven-week trial before being convicted.

Chin Ping, 56, also lived at Saint David’s Square in east London. He was born on January 19, 1970. Following his conviction, Ping received six years and nine months in prison.

Sarunyoo Siriwan, 31, lived at Seagar Place in south-east London. He was born on October 6, 1994. Siriwan was sentenced to four years and four months.

Ugur Sahin, 27, lived at Victoria Road in north-west London. He was born on September 5, 1999. The court jailed Sahin for four years.

Together, the three men were convicted of conspiracy to commit human trafficking. They were also convicted of conspiracy to control prostitution for gain. All three were additionally convicted of acquiring, using or possessing criminal property.

Their convictions went further. Each man was convicted of facilitating a breach of UK immigration law by a non-UK national.

Combined, the four prison sentences totalled almost 23 years. Moreover, all four received Slavery and Trafficking Prevention Orders. Those orders impose further restrictions following their eventual release.

The Metropolitan Police release does not state the defendants’ nationalities. Therefore, neither Spurr nor Siriwan can be identified as Thai from the police information supplied. By contrast, police specifically confirmed that the 24 identified women were Thai.

As the case developed, detectives established a clear connection between Thailand and the British brothel network. Women were targeted in Thailand before their journeys were arranged. Many then travelled directly to Britain using visitor visas.

One woman, however, took a very different route. She reached the Netherlands before being smuggled across the Channel inside a vehicle. Police have not disclosed who arranged that particular journey.

Nor have detectives explained how long she spent in the Netherlands. No details were released about where she boarded the vehicle. Nevertheless, police confirmed her concealment during the journey into Britain.

Inside Britain, the organisation had developed a wide geographical footprint. Its 26 identified brothels stretched across London and Kent. Two belonged to one of the defendants.

As part of this, detectives examined financial records linking people with individual properties. They also used digital evidence to establish further connections. The investigation eventually extended across women, defendants, money and premises.

The October raids then gave police another substantial body of evidence. More than £57,000 in cash was recovered. The cash-counting machine pointed investigators towards another financial element of the operation.

Alongside that haul came designer watches and handbags. Officers also seized phones, SIM cards and bank cards. Most importantly for the original investigation, three women’s passports were found.

By then, police had already encountered difficulties locating some women. The safeguarding operation took officers to every identified brothel. However, many women were no longer there when police arrived.

Despite that obstacle, investigators assembled enough evidence for the four prosecutions. Spurr entered guilty pleas, while the three men went before a jury. Their trial lasted seven weeks.

Ultimately, all three men were convicted on the charges they faced. Those convictions covered trafficking, prostitution for gain and criminal property. They also included immigration offences.

The resulting sentences ranged from four years to seven years and eight months. Spurr received the longest term. Ping followed with six years and nine months.

Raids strengthen trafficking case with cash, passports, phones and financial evidence seized by police

Siriwan received four years and four months. Sahin received four years. Consequently, the combined punishment reached almost 23 years.

Detective Constable Kathryn Horne worked on the case with the Modern Slavery and Child Exploitation Team. She described the operation as a sophisticated criminal enterprise targeting women for profit.

Horne said the defendants treated women as commodities. She also said women travelled thousands of miles before becoming trapped through “debt, control and sexual exploitation”.

Importantly, Horne credited victims who provided evidence against the group. Their information had played a central role from the beginning of the investigation.

Police also worked with Justice and Care, an anti-trafficking organisation. A reception centre was established during the operation. Women could receive immediate assistance and advice there.

For its part, Justice and Care highlighted women who participated in the criminal proceedings. Debi Lloyd is the organisation’s Head of UK Counter-Trafficking Operations. She pointed particularly to those who came forward following their experiences.

The police investigation nevertheless remained rooted in hard evidence gathered across multiple locations. Officers had cash, passports, financial records and digital material. They also seized phones, SIM cards, bank cards and luxury goods.

Beyond that, detectives had mapped a network of 26 brothels. They identified 24 Thai women who entered Britain during 2025. Additionally, they established two distinctly different routes into the country.

Many women used visitor visas and entered through conventional immigration channels. At least one woman was smuggled inside a vehicle from the Netherlands. She crossed the Channel concealed in the rear.

Once inside Britain, police said women were confronted with huge debts. The amounts could reach tens of thousands of pounds. They were then expected to repay the money through sexual services.

Compounding that control, passports were routinely taken away. Three of those documents later surfaced during the October police operation. Their recovery matched information women had supplied during the initial welfare checks.

The case therefore grew from a small opening into a sprawling investigation. Initially, police were examining brothels connected with an entirely separate inquiry. Conversations with Thai women changed everything.

Evidence reveals two routes into Britain as Thai women face debt, passport seizures and exploitation

First came the reports about confiscated passports. Then came the identification of “Freya” or “Freya Ice Queen”. After that, detectives followed financial, digital and property connections through London and Kent.

Eventually, police traced 26 brothels. They also identified 24 Thai women linked with the operation. In turn, the investigation led back thousands of miles to recruitment in Thailand.

The October 2025 raids marked the decisive enforcement stage. Six warrants took officers into seven locations. Police emerged with £57,145 in cash and a substantial collection of evidence.

Nearly a year later, the case reached its sentencing conclusion at Woolwich Crown Court. Four people were sent to prison. Their sentences totalled almost 23 years.

Yet the investigation had started with something far simpler. Thai women told police their passports had been taken.

Missing passports and Freya Ice Queen led detectives from welfare checks to 26 brothels and Thai recruits

From that disclosure came “Freya Ice Queen”, 26 brothels and a trail reaching back to Thailand. It also uncovered visitor-visa arrivals and a woman hidden inside a vehicle crossing the English Channel.

Finally, the police operation produced four convicted defendants and Slavery and Trafficking Prevention Orders against each. The court imposed the orders alongside their prison sentences.

The final police figures laid out the scale. Twenty-four Thai women were identified. Twenty-six brothels were connected with the organisation.

Six warrants were executed and seven locations were searched. Police seized £57,145, luxury goods, financial material and communications equipment.

And among that haul were three passports belonging to victims.

Those passports echoed the first information Thai women gave investigators during the welfare checks. From there, detectives had uncovered a trafficking operation stretching from Thailand into the heart of London and Kent.

在“犯罪”、“生活”、“媒体”、“泰国”类别下

一个由绰号“冰雪女王弗蕾雅”的女子领导的庞大人口贩卖网络招募泰国女性，并将她们囚禁在伦敦和肯特郡的26家妓院中。至少有24名女性因巨额债务和护照被没收而遭受剥削，另有一名女性被藏在车内偷渡过英吉利海峡。泰国女性向警方举报并指认“冰雪女王弗蕾雅”后，该团伙才得以曝光。经过伦敦警察厅的大规模调查，四名人口贩子已被判处近23年监禁。

一个庞大的人口贩运网络将至少24名泰国女性带到英国，并在26家妓院对她们进行剥削。该犯罪团伙的活动范围遍及伦敦和肯特郡，这些女性是从数千英里之外的泰国招募而来。许多人持旅游签证入境，之后被迫从事卖淫活动。她们的护照经常被没收，并被强加巨额债务。

至少有一名女子通过更为隐秘的途径进入英国。她从荷兰被带到这里，藏在一辆车的后座。这辆车随后载着这名泰国女子穿越了英吉利海峡。警方尚未确认她的身份、年龄或她在泰国的居住地。

现在，这起犯罪活动的四名幕后主使已被判处近23年监禁。伍尔维奇刑事法庭于9月18日星期五对他们进行了宣判。此前，伦敦警察厅进行了广泛的调查，并对三名被告进行了为期七周的审判。

泰国女性护照遗失，警方由此破获了伦敦和肯特郡一个由26家妓院组成的庞大网络。

调查的核心是几名泰国女性，她们最初向警方报案称护照丢失。她们指认了一名绰号为“弗蕾雅”或“冰雪女王弗蕾雅”的女子。这条线索促使侦探们跳出最初的调查范围，深入到一个更大的犯罪网络。

警方由此追踪到伦敦和肯特郡的26家妓院。其中两处房产属于一名被告所有。侦探还确认了24名在2025年抵达英国的泰国女性。警方认为该组织剥削了这24名女性。

这些女性在泰国成为目标后，跋涉数千英里。她们的旅程起初往往看似合法。许多人持旅游签证进入英国，之后被带到妓院。

到达目的地后，她们的处境急转直下。这些女性被告知她们欠下了一大笔钱。据警方称，这些债务可能高达数万英镑。她们被迫提供性服务来偿还债务。

与此同时，她们的护照经常被没收。这使得这些女性孤立无援，完全依赖于控制她们的人。警方后来在对该犯罪团伙的突袭行动中，找回了三名受害者的护照。

英吉利海峡偷渡行动是本案的另一重要线索。一名女子没有直接进入英国，而是途经荷兰。她被安置在一辆车的后座，然后被开车带过英吉利海峡。

警方揭露一条秘密海峡走私路线，一名泰国女子被藏在一辆车的后座。

值得注意的是，警方并未透露更多关于这段旅程的信息。他们没有公布这名女子的身份或年龄，也没有透露她来自泰国的哪个府或城市。同样，调查人员也没有说明她最初是如何抵达荷兰的。

伦敦警察厅也未透露她使用的偷渡方式。但侦探们已查明，她被带入英国时藏匿在车内。

这项调查始于2025年，最初似乎是一起独立的警方调查。当时，警员们正在对与另一起调查相关的妓院进行福利检查。在这些检查中，他们遇到了在这些场所工作的泰国女性。

至关重要的是，这些对话改变了调查方向。女性告诉警方她们的护照被没收了。她们还向侦探指认了“弗蕾雅”或“冰雪女王弗蕾雅”。

掌握了这些信息后，调查人员开始追踪最初调查范围之外的线索。线索迅速扩展到伦敦和肯特郡。财务记录、电子证据和其他材料揭露了被告、女性和各个妓院之间的联系。

与此同时，警方开始调查这些女性是如何抵达英国的。调查人员发现，这些女性在泰国就被盯上，之后才被安排前往英国。许多人随后持旅游签证进入英国。

警方公布了与人口贩运网络有关的26家妓院名单，女性面临巨额债务和性剥削。

然而，抵达目的地仅仅是第一步。这些女性被送进妓院，并背负巨额债务。警方称，这些债务可能高达数万英镑。她们被迫提供性服务来偿还债务。

与此同时，调查人员继续梳理该组织在英国境内的活动轨迹。最终，他们发现有26家妓院与该网络有关联。值得注意的是，其中一名被告拥有两处已确认的房产。

随后，警方展开了一项覆盖所有已知妓院的保护行动。警员走访了全部26处地点，试图找到与该网络有关的女性。然而，到那时，许多人已经失踪或搬到了其他地方。

此外，侦探们确认了24名于2025年抵达英国的泰国女性。警方认为她们都遭到了该组织的剥削。她们的姓名尚未公布。

2025年10月22日，调查取得重大进展。伦敦警察厅警员对该组织展开行动，执行了六项搜查令，共搜查了七个地点。

突击搜查中缴获了57145英镑现金。警方还发现了一台点钞机，为调查增添了另一条金融线索。搜查过程中还查获了名牌手表和手提包。

10月份的突击搜查中，警方缴获了价值57145英镑的赃物、奢侈品和相关证据，警方正在打击一起人口贩运活动。

此外，警方还缴获了手机和SIM卡，银行卡也被作为证据带走。然而，其中一项发现与泰国女性此前向调查人员提供的证词完全吻合。

警方找到了三名受害者的护照。

这些文件变得尤为重要，因为没收护照有助于揭露这个犯罪网络。最初，一些女性告诉警方，她们的旅行证件被控制她们的人扣押了。

突袭行动结束后，侦探们将缴获的物品与此前收集的证据结合起来。财务记录有助于厘清整个行动中的关联。电子资料则提供了人员和财产之间的更多联系。

另一方面，调查人员继续调查女性在妓院的流动情况，并追踪被告与各个场所之间的联系。最终，证据对四人提起刑事诉讼。

现年49岁的阿查里亚·斯珀尔（Achareeya Spurr）居住在伦敦东部的圣大卫广场，她面临三项指控。她出生于1976年10月10日。与其他被告不同，斯珀尔认罪。

她承认串谋贩卖人口，也承认串谋控制卖淫牟利。此外，斯珀尔还承认获取、使用或持有犯罪所得。

伍尔维奇刑事法庭判处她最重的刑罚。斯珀尔被判入狱七年零八个月。

然而，有三名男子对指控提出异议。他们经过七周的审判后被判有罪。

四名被告因贩毒调查认罪，经过七周审判，面临牢狱之灾。

现年56岁的陈平也住在伦敦东部的圣大卫广场。他出生于1970年1月19日。被判有罪后，陈平被判处六年零九个月监禁。

31岁的萨鲁尼奥·西里万居住在伦敦东南部的西格尔广场。他出生于1994年10月6日。西里万被判处四年零四个月监禁。

27岁的乌古尔·沙欣住在伦敦西北部的维多利亚路。他出生于1999年9月5日。法庭判处沙欣四年监禁。

这三人共同被判犯有串谋贩卖人口罪，以及串谋控制卖淫牟利罪。此外，三人还被判犯有获取、使用或持有犯罪所得罪。

他们的罪名远不止于此。每名男子都被判犯有协助非英国公民违反英国移民法的罪行。

四人累计刑期近23年。此外，四人均被颁布了奴役和人口贩运预防令。这些命令对他们最终获释后的生活施加了进一步的限制。

伦敦警察厅发布的公告并未提及被告的国籍。因此，根据警方提供的信息，无法确定斯珀尔和西里万是否为泰国人。相比之下，警方明确确认了24名被确认身份的女性均为泰国人。

随着案件的深入调查，侦探们发现泰国与英国妓院网络之间存在明确的联系。一些女性在泰国就被锁定为目标，之后她们的行程被安排妥当。许多人随后持旅游签证直接前往英国。

然而，有一名女子采取了截然不同的路线。她先抵达荷兰，然后藏在一辆车里偷渡过英吉利海峡。警方尚未透露是谁安排了这次偷渡。

侦探们也没有解释她在荷兰停留了多久。关于她从哪里上车，也没有透露任何细节。不过，警方证实她在前往英国的途中一直藏匿行踪。

在英国境内，该组织已发展出广泛的地域版图。其已知的26家妓院遍布伦敦和肯特郡。其中两家属于被告之一。

作为调查的一部分，侦探们审查了将个人与特定房产联系起来的财务记录。他们还利用数字证据来建立进一步的联系。调查最终涉及了女性、被告、资金和房产等多个方面。

警方追踪到泰国的人口贩运招募路线，该贩运网络横跨伦敦、肯特郡和英吉利海峡。

10月份的突击搜查为警方提供了另一批重要证据，缴获了超过5.7万英镑的现金。一台点钞机则将调查人员引向了该行动的另一个财务环节。

除了上述赃物外，警方还缴获了名牌手表和手提包。此外，警方还查获了手机、SIM卡和银行卡。对最初的调查而言，最重要的是，警方找到了三名女性的护照。

当时，警方在寻找一些女性的过程中已经遇到了困难。为了保障女性安全，警方开展了一次行动，走访了所有已知的妓院。然而，当警方到达时，许多女性已经不在那里了。

尽管面临这一障碍，调查人员还是收集到了足够的证据，对四名被告提起诉讼。斯珀尔认罪，而另外三名男子则接受了陪审团审判。他们的审判持续了七周。

最终，这三名男子均被判犯有所指控的罪行。这些罪行包括贩卖人口、卖淫牟利和持有犯罪所得，也包括违反移民法。

最终判决的刑期从四年到七年零八个月不等。斯珀尔的刑期最长，平的刑期为六年零九个月。

警方突袭行动缴获现金、护照、手机和金融证据，进一步加强了贩毒案件的调查力度。

西里万被判处四年零四个月监禁，沙欣被判处四年监禁。因此，两人合计刑期接近23年。

警探凯瑟琳·霍恩与现代奴隶制和儿童剥削小组合作调查此案。她将此案描述为一起精心策划的犯罪团伙，以女性为目标牟利。

霍恩表示，被告将女性视为商品。她还说，这些女性跋涉数千英里，最终却因“债务、控制和性剥削”而落入陷阱。

值得注意的是，霍恩对提供证据指控该团伙的受害者表示感谢。他们的信息从调查伊始就发挥了核心作用。

警方还与反人口贩运组织“正义与关怀”（Justice and Care）合作，在行动期间设立了一个接待中心，为妇女提供即时援助和咨询。

“正义与关怀”组织重点表扬了参与刑事诉讼的女性。该组织英国反人口贩运行动负责人黛比·劳埃德特别提到了那些在经历人口贩运后挺身而出的女性。

侦探谴责将女性当作商品对待的行为，受害者协助将人口贩卖网络绳之以法。

尽管如此，警方的调查仍然基于在多处地点收集到的确凿证据。警方缴获了现金、护照、财务记录和电子设备。他们还查获了手机、SIM卡、银行卡和奢侈品。

除此之外，侦探们还绘制出了一个由26家妓院组成的网络。他们确认了2025年期间进入英国的24名泰国女性。此外，他们还确定了两条截然不同的入境路线。

许多女性持旅游签证，通过常规入境渠道入境。至少有一名女性是从荷兰偷渡过来的，她藏在车后部，穿越了英吉利海峡。

警方称，这些女性一旦进入英国，就会面临巨额债务，金额可能高达数万英镑。她们随后被要求通过性服务偿还债务。

为了加强管控，护照经常被没收。其中三份护照后来在10月份的警方行动中被找到。找到的护照信息与女性在最初的福利检查中提供的信息相符。

因此，这起案件从最初的小插曲发展成了一项庞大的调查。起初，警方只是在调查与另一起案件相关的妓院。但与泰国女性的谈话彻底改变了一切。

证据显示，泰国女性面临债务、护照被没收和剥削的困境，她们进入英国的途径主要有两条。

先是传出护照被没收的消息。随后，警方确认了“弗蕾雅”或“冰雪女王弗蕾雅”的身份。之后，侦探们追踪了她在伦敦和肯特郡的金融、网络和房产关联。

最终，警方查获了26家妓院，并确认了24名与该团伙有关的泰国女性。调查由此追溯到数千英里之外的泰国，找到了该团伙的招募活动。

2025年10月的突击搜查标志着执法行动进入了决定性阶段。警方持六份搜查令突袭了七个地点，缴获了57145英镑现金和大量证据。

近一年后，该案在伍尔维奇刑事法庭宣判。四人被判入狱，刑期总计近23年。

然而，调查最初却源于一件简单得多的事情。一些泰国女性向警方报案称，她们的护照被没收了。

丢失的护照和弗雷娅·冰雪女王的出现，让侦探们从福利检查一路追踪到26家妓院和泰国招募人员。

此次披露揭露了“冰雪女王弗蕾雅”的真面目，曝光了26家妓院，并追溯到泰国。此外，还发现了持访客签证入境的人员，以及一名藏身于穿越英吉利海峡车辆中的女子。

最终，警方行动抓获了四名被告，并分别对他们发出了奴役和人口贩运预防令。法院在判处他们监禁的同时，也执行了这些预防令。

警方最终公布的数据揭示了犯罪规模。24名泰国女性被确认身份。26家妓院与该组织有关联。

警方执行了六项搜查令，搜查了七个地点。缴获了57145英镑现金、奢侈品、金融资料和通讯设备。

在这些缴获的物品中，有三本属于受害者的护照。

这些护照上的信息与泰国女性在福利检查中向调查人员提供的第一手资料相吻合。由此，侦探们破获了一个从泰国延伸至伦敦市中心和肯特郡的人口贩运网络。
