CNN-- British police have arrested a couple on suspicion of holding three women captive for more than 30 years, Scotland Yard announced Thursday.

 

Officers from the Human Trafficking Unit arrested the man and woman, both 67, at their south London home as part of an investigation into slavery and domestic servitude, the Metropolitan Police said. They are in custody.

 

The "highly traumatized" victims -- a 69-year-old Malaysian woman, 57-year-old Irish woman and 30-year-old Briton -- have been taken to a place of safety, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

 

Police said that they had been alerted in October to the situation by Freedom Charity, which had received a phone call from a woman saying "she had been held against her will in a house in London for more than 30 years."

 

"We applaud the actions of Freedom Charity and are working in partnership to support these victims who appear to have been held for over 30 years.

 

"We have launched an extensive investigation to establish the facts surrounding these very serious allegations," Detective Inspector Kevin Hyland said.

 

A television documentary on forced marriages relating to the work of Freedom Charity was the catalyst that prompted one of the victims to call for help and led to their rescue.

PHOTOS: See Kate Middleton's Marilyn Monroe Moments....

Kate Middleton almost suffered a major wardrobe malfunction yesterday as she arrived in a short pleated navy skirt and matching jacket at Place2Be, a London-based anti-bullying charity.

As she bent down to accept a posy from nine-year-old Tierney Potter, a pupil at St Edmund's School in Tower Hamlets, her skirt blew up in a gust of wind.

And it's not the first time Kate's had a Marilyn moment: a feather-light Jenny Packham yellow frock almost cost Kate her modesty at Calgary Airport in September 2011, and she almost came a cropper in a floral Project D dress as she arrived at Brisbane airport in 2012.

THE QUEEN'S £1.50 TRICK FOR AVOIDING WARDROBE MALFUNCTIONS:

The Queen's tailor sews Peter Jones curtain weights into her hemlines to keep them from blowing away

The Queen's dressmaker Stuart Parvin slips small lead curtain weights, costing just £1.50 for a packet of four, inside the lining of each of the Queen’s exquisite hand-made outfits.

The small circular weights, measure just 1.2inches (32mm) across and weigh less than an ounce each and are sourced from Peter Jones.

Society dressmaker Mr Parvin neatly stitches them into the hem of her garments, which prevents them from blowing up in the wind.

‘The beauty of a handmade outfit is that it hangs just right but, of course, we have a few tricks up our sleeve,’ Mr Parvin told the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview.
