Two people have been charged as part of a human trafficking case that RCMP allege involved more than half a million dollars funneled through casinos in three provinces. RCMP said its Nova Scotia Provincial Human Trafficking Unit (HTU) began a sex trafficking investigation in 2023 that involved “multiple victims” in the province.
Over the course of the investigation, police said they identified connections to New Brunswick and Ontario.
“Investigators’ main priority in any human trafficking investigation is the safety of the victims,” said Sgt. Jeff MacFarlane with the HTU in a release.
“As officers began working with the victims, they connected them with appropriate resources in addition to putting together evidence to support criminal charges.”
