Six men have been arrested and charged in connection with a human trafficking investigation in Southern Ontario involving victims younger than 18, a Toronto-area police service says.
Officers from the Durham Regional Police Services human trafficking unit launched an ongoing initiative known as “Project Firebird” earlier this year to combat the purchase of sexual services from minors in the region located immediately east of Toronto, police said in a Feb. 9 press release.
