Two men and a woman have been found guilty of trafficking victims into Scotland for sex.
Qin Huang, 31, Xiao Min, 38, and Guolei Huang, 35, plead guilty to human trafficking and brothel keeping offences at the High Court in Glasgow on Tuesday, May 28.
The group, who were operating in Glasgow and Edinburgh, is due to be sentenced on June 25.
Police Scotland worked in partnership with Home Office Criminal & Financial Investigation Team while receiving assistance from the Metropolitan Police and Cambridgeshire Constabulary during the course of the investigation.
Detective inspector Mark Dines said: “Human trafficking is a despicable crime that has an unmeasurable long-term impact on its victims.
“We are committed to working with our partners to conduct thorough investigations, to identify those responsible and to protect vulnerable victims from harm.
“During this operation we worked in partnership with the Home Office Criminal & Financial Investigation Team and received assistance from officers of the Metropolitan Police and Cambridgeshire Constabulary.
“We will continue in our efforts to tackle human trafficking and information from people within our communities is key to helping us to identify those involved.
“I ask that anyone with any information or concerns about the welfare of someone they suspect has been trafficked to contact us on 101.”
