Three people have been arrested on suspicion of illegal money lending as part of a crackdown on loan sharks.
The England Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT) said warrants were executed in Keyworth and Southwell, in Nottinghamshire, on Tuesday.
It said a 43-year-old man and two women, 35 and 51, were taken into custody and electric devices and documents were also seized.
More than a million in England are thought to be in debt to loan sharks.
The IMLT says it works in partnership with Trading Standards at Nottinghamshire County Council "to investigate and prosecute illegal money lenders".
