Police have arrested and charged a 49-year-old man during a pro-active operation targeting those involved in human trafficking in the Edinburgh area. A four-figure sum of cash was also seized during the search of a property in the Marchmont area and enquiries are ongoing. Detective Superintendent Stevie Bertram said:“Today’s activity is part of an ongoing operation aimed at tackling those who exploit vulnerable members of our communities for their own personal gain. “Human trafficking is despicable and our commitment to identifying those involved and bringing them to court is unwavering. “I would urge anyone who has any knowledge about where it is happening or who may be involved to get in touch with Police Scotland on 101 or information can be given anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”Like this: Like Loading...
