Greater Manchester’s Police are appealing to the public for any information after a woman, aged in her 20s, escaped from an unknown property where she was being forced to operate as a sex worker.
The woman was found at the weekend at Dallas Court, off South Langworthy Road, Salford by a member of the public.
One line of enquiry is that she travelled to the Salford area from outside Greater Manchester, after asking for help from a passing lorry driver following her escape.
Enquiries are ongoing to determine what area of the country the lorry driver travelled from.
When found, the woman was wearing a blue denim jacket and a dark-coloured dress. She has shoulder-length brown hair, which she was wearing in a ponytail.
Detective Sergeant Gareth Humphreys of GMP’s Salford District said: “This woman has endured a terrifying experience and our specialist officers are supporting her through this distressing time.
“We appreciate there is a limited amount of information available currently, but it is only right that we pursue every line of enquiry available to us.
“We are appealing to anyone with information, or who recalls helping or seeing this woman in the early morning of Saturday 2 May, or the days preceding, to contact police.
“We’d particularly like to appeal to the driver of the lorry who assisted the woman in travelling to Salford.
“I’d like to stress that the lorry driver is not in any trouble and we only want to speak to them to help us piece together the woman’s movements following her escape.”
