Home Office officials are appealing for information about the whereabouts of two brothers accused of trafficking women for the purposes of prostitution.

Hungarian nationals Istvan Toth and Peter Toth are due to stand trial next month.

A judge issued a warrant for their arrest after they failed to attend Hove Crown Court for a pre-trial review hearing on Friday, September 13. The trial is due to start on October 28.

The men, who are brothers, have connections to Eastbourne but may also be in the Woolwich area of south east London or Margate in Kent.

Istvan Toth, 34, is a white European male, 5’ 10” stocky build, bald head, usually well dressed and speaks with a Hungarian accent.

Peter Toth, 28, is a white European male, 5’ 9’’ slim build, brown eyes, short brown hair, slight beard and speaks with a Hungarian accent. He also usually wears glasses.

Anyone with information should call 01293 501727 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 quoting Operation Amber.
