A 57-year-old woman appeared at Belfast Magistrates' Court this morning charged with controlling prostitution.

Sook Cheng Wong, from Tate's Avenue in South Belfast, was remanded in custody for a week.

Earlier this week, two women were rescued by police in the greater Belfast area.

PSNI members carried out a pre-planned operation and also seized £25,000 in cash and documents.

A 46-year-old woman facing a similar prostitution charge as well as money laundering will appear before the same Belfast court next month.
