Police have uncovered a major human trafficking ring in Tunapuna, the Ministry of Homeland Security said in a media release on June 6.

The release said the Counter-Trafficking Unit (CTU) and the TT Police Service conducted an exercise dubbed “Operation G Ride” – a six-month operation that culminated in a raid at a residence on St Vincent Street, Tunapuna, which resulted in the discovery of 12 women between the ages of 21 and 28, a 16-year-old girl and two children under the age of three.

All of the people found at the house were Venezuelan, except for one of the babies who is a Trinidadian.
