Arrests At Heathrow Over FGM Offences Overseas

A man and a woman have been arrested at Heathrow Airport in connection with female genital mutilation (FGM) offences abroad, police say. It comes after a south London school raised concerns about a pupil who failed to attend class and was believed to have been taken to Somalia. Metropolitan Police officers from the Camberwell Child Abuse Investigation Team then successfully applied for a FGM Prevention Order.
