London (CNN) – British investigators were questioning suspects Monday after police rescued 24 men that they said were kept as slaves – some for as long as 15 years.

Police in Bedfordshire, northwest of London, arrested five suspects under a new anti-slavery law passed last year, alleging that they lured the men to a trailer park with promises of food and shelter, then threatened them with violence and forced them into hard labor.

The men, from England and parts of Eastern Europe, are “all believed to be victims of slavery,” police said. Living in squalid conditions in the town of Leighton Buzzard, many of the men were on the verge of starvation, police said.

“There’s no electricity. There’s no running water. People haven’t had their hair cut. (They’re) wearing dirty clothing. And made to perform labor, rather than being given proper food and proper wages for their labors,” said Detective Chief Inspector Sean O'Neil of Bedfordshire Police.
