Police raid city night spots

September 3, 2016

– 14 Brazilian women among those held

POLICE raids carried out late Friday night at the Plaza Hotel on Charlotte and Albert Streets and at another popular business location have netted a number of Brazilian women who are suspected to be victims of trafficking in persons (TIP).

“Sixteen persons, inclusive of fourteen foreign nationals, have been detained and are assisting with the investigation,” a police statement has disclosed, even as it confirmed that the raids followed information received that the businesses were engaging in trafficking in persons (TIP).
