Peel Regional Police say two men with alleged ties to MS-13 are charged following a human trafficking investigation that begins last year. Police say investigators, working with the Ontario Provincial Police and the Correctional Service of Canada, arrested the two suspects and executed four search warrants in Mississauga and Collingwood.
According to police, the case involves allegations that a woman was sexually exploited across the Greater Toronto Area. Global News reports that the charges relate to the alleged sexual exploitation of the woman.
City News Toronto adds that the investigation includes coordinated police and federal corrections support, and that the search warrants are part of the effort to gather evidence in the matter.
Both outlets report that the men are now facing human trafficking-related charges. The specific counts and details of the allegations are set out in the charges laid by police. The investigation is ongoing, and it is not clear from the reports whether any additional suspects have been charged.
