Po­lice of­fi­cers res­cued 11 fe­male Venezue­lan na­tion­als dur­ing an op­er­a­tion on Tues­day, the TTPS has con­firmed.

Of­fi­cers ar­rest­ed three sus­pects—two males and one fe­male—be­lieved to be linked to a hu­man traf­fick­ing ring op­er­at­ing in the Cunu­pia area.

The op­er­a­tion took place be­tween 3:40 pm and 8:05 pm at a res­i­dence on Ra­goo­nanan Road.

Dur­ing the op­er­a­tion, po­lice of­fi­cers found 11 in­di­vid­u­als al­leged­ly be­ing held against their will. The Cen­tral Di­vi­sion­al Task Force (Area North) and the Counter Traf­fick­ing Unit sup­port­ed the mis­sion, which al­so led to the seizure of sev­er­al items.

The three sus­pects re­main in cus­tody while the Im­mi­gra­tion De­part­ment will as­sist the vic­tims, who are now re­ceiv­ing the nec­es­sary sup­port ser­vices.
