Two men were arrested today by police investigating claims that female genital mutilation is being offered in the UK.

West Midlands Police said a 55-year-old and a 61-year-old were arrested when officers from the force’s public protection unit attended three separate addresses in Birmingham.

Detective Inspector Caroline Marsh said: ‘We are still in the very early stages of this investigation but I hope this morning’s action sends out a clear message about how seriously we are taking these allegations.’

Arrests: Officers from West Midlands Police this morning arrested two men, aged 55 and 61, on suspicion of offences contrary to the Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003

She added: ‘We are actively working
together with our partner agencies to investigate reports of female
genital mutilation (FGM) and raise awareness of the practice amongst
both professionals and communities, in order to identify and safeguard
potential victims.

‘I want to reassure people that we
thoroughly investigate all allegations of FGM and I would encourage
anyone who may have any information about this illegal practice to
contact police.’

The men were arrested on suspicion of offences contrary to the Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003.

Officers
went to properties on Stratford Road, Sparkhill, Trafalgar Road,
Moseley and Kingstanding Road, Kingstanding, at around 9am.

A force spokesman said an investigation was launched following the publication of an article in The Sunday Times on April 22.
