The Hawks’ Serious Organised Crime unit nabbed three men allegedly linked to a human trafficking syndicate in Springs today.
It is alleged that the accused lured unsuspecting young girls with offers of employment and instead forced them into a life of drugs and prostitution. The Hawks acted swiftly on Friday morning, 21 December 2018 after they were alerted to suspicious activities at a house in Springs. The operation resulted in three arrests.
The trio aged 24, 38, and 50 are expected to appear before the Springs Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 24 December facing charges of human trafficking. Investigations continue.
