Inside Out East - 07/12/2009

The programme has had exclusive access to the search for the woman behind a trade in human misery. The suspect is believed to be behind a sex trafficking operation which keeps women as virtual slaves. She was caught before but has escaped and disappeared. Following police across Norfolk and Suffolk, the investigation reveals the women who are victims and joins the hunt. A wife in Suffolk gets a shock when she discovers her husband is involved in the operation. But there's a happy ending for Thai born Mai Ling, a former worker who found love with a former customer. Tom Webster from Southwold in Suffolk is the ultimate recycler. He is a master craftsman who rescues buildings others might think beyond repair. There are nearly 130 historic buildings at risk from neglect or decay in Suffolk according to official figures. If Tom can buy them he takes them to pieces and then either restores the building or turns it into a completely new one. Tom's base in Suffolk is an Aladdin's cave, with buildings filled to the rafters with salvaged material. Over the years he's saved over a hundred buildings that would otherwise have just disappeared.
