Two men from Colliers Wood are among a group of seven due in court this morning charged with allegedly forcing girls as young as 16 to work as prostitutes.

Virginijus Suchodolikis, 32, of Independence House, Chapter Way, and 32-year-old Mantas Dumasius, of Vista House, Chapter Way, are both charged with four counts of conspiracy to control and cause child prostitution.

Dumasius is also accused of possession of a class A drug with intent to supply and possession of a firearm containing ammunition.

They are due to appear at Southwark Crown Court today.
