More than 200 police officers took part in the raid Four men are due in court later charged with slavery offences in connection with a group of men found at a travellers' site in Bedfordshire.
The four, all from the same traveller family, were arrested at Greenacres near Leighton Buzzard on Sunday. Police removed 24 men thought to have been held against their will. Nine later discharged themselves from hospital and refused to help police.
The slavery charges relate to four men found at Greenacres.
Tommy Connors, 30; Patrick Connors, 19; James Connors, 34, and James Connors, 23, all of the Greenacres caravan site, have been charged with conspiracy to hold a person in servitude and requiring them to perform forced labour.
They will appear at Luton Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
A pregnant woman, who was also arrested, has been released on bail.
'Work like slaves' In total, 15 men are still being treated for malnutrition and medical problems.
Adrian Roberts, head of the CPS Thames and Chiltern Complex Casework Unit, said: "These charges relate to four victims who allege they have been held against their will and forced to live and work like slaves.
"Police investigations into other offences relating to other potential victims at Greenacres are ongoing, further to the police raid on Sunday, 11 September."
More than 200 officers raided the travellers' site at Great Billington at 05:30 BST on Sunday.
The men allegedly kept against their will are British and eastern European, plus two whose nationalities are yet to be confirmed.
The youngest was a 17-year-old British boy who has now rejoined his family. The others are aged between 30 and 57.
The British Red Cross said it is providing practical and emotional support
