KZN police rescues 33 suspected human trafficking victims
An anti-trafficking probe by KZN police has led
detectives to a property in Gauteng, where 33 suspected
victims of human trafficking have been rescued.
Investigators say the group was found in a single room at the house in Benoni on Sunday evening.
"Detectives from KwaZulu-Natal were tracing a suspect in connection with a case where a foreign national was kidnapped in Springfield Park last week," said KZN police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda.
"Investigations led the police to a house in Benoni and working together with other national police specialized units, the house was tactically penetrated and thirty-three male victims were found cramped in the house and one suspect was arrested."
