Three men have been arrested by police investigating a paedophile ring which led to vulnerable girls being sold into prostitution.

The trio - aged 81, 49 and 48 - were detained after officers executed a warrant at Nanford Guest House in Iffley Road, Oxford, in connection with Operation Bullfinch.

They were held on suspicion of "being a landlord letting a premise for use as a brothel, causing or inciting child prostitution for gain and encouraging or assisting in an offence believing it will be committed, namely rape and causing child prostitution".

A Thames Valley Police spokesman said the new arrests were based on information that came to light in the trial of seven members of a paedophile ring found guilty of a catalogue of sex offences at the Old Bailey last month.
