Two men are facing charges after an investigation by the Saskatoon Police Service’s VICE-Human Trafficking Unit.
It began on Monday, when police responded to a domestic complaint in the 200 block of Willis Crescent. It had been reported that a 23-year-old woman had been held in a home for a period of time.
After further investigation, the VICE-Human Trafficking Unit was called in to help. The whereabouts of the two suspects was not known at the time, so warrants were issued.
At around 1 p.m. on Thursday, members of the Guns and Gangs Unit went to the 1500 block of Rayner Avenue, where both men were taken into custody without incident.
A 23-year-old Kindersley man is charged with two counts of uttering threats and one count each of trafficking persons, material benefit (trafficking), theft under $5,000, breach of a release order, and breach of a conditional sentence order.
