More than 30 human trafficking victims rescued in Benoni
KwaZulu Natal Police, in collaboration with national police, have rescued thirty-three human trafficking victims and arrested one suspect.
The victims were found in a house in Benoni on the Gauteng East Rand.
The sting operation took place on Sunday evening.
KZN police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says detectives from KwaZulu-Natal were tracing a suspect in connection with a case of kidnapping in Springfield Park last week.
"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," says Netshiunda.
Netshiunda adds the ages of the victims are yet to be confirmed.
The suspect is expected to appear in court soon.
