A 32-year-old woman from Crewe has been charged with running a brothel used for prostitution - following a police raid at a Staffordshire property last Autumn.

Staffordshire Police attended a residential address off Shelton Old Road, Stoke-on-Trent, just before 5.55pm on 28 October 2021 - following reports of a suspected brothel operating in the city.

Nicoleta Dobra, of Nantwich Road, was charged with keeping/managing a brothel used for prostitution. She will appear at North Staffordshire Justice Centre on Thursday (September 1).

The 32-year-old was arrested on suspicion of causing/inciting prostitution for gain, conspiring to cause grievous bodily harm with intent and fraud by false representation.

Dobra was also arrested on suspicion of managing/assisting in the management of a heterosexual brothel and being in possession of class B drugs - cannabis/cannabis resin.

She is is on bail until her appearance at the Newcastle-under-Lyme court.

During this incident, witnesses also reported that a man in his 20s had been assaulted by a group of three men.

The victim was taken to hospital with serious head injuries.

A 26-year-old man, from London, was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to cause grievous bodily harm with intent and section 18 - grievous bodily harm with intent.
