Pravda reported that a formerly homeless man escaped slave owners who had been holding him in a barn, forcing him to work with other slaves on a farm.  Authorities shadowed the man until he was caught by his pursuers at a bus stop, and then followed them all back to the farm to discover this:

The policemen visited the people who kept the man in a suburb. They found the slave with his neck chained and tightened with bolts and wires. The prisoner was bound to a metal tube by the other end of the chain.

Apparently, the perpetrators had been luring homeless people into slavery.
