Bloemfontein Police have urged anyone with information to come forward and report incidents of human trafficking.

Free State police say they have deployed officers to some parts of Bloemfontein to detect any suspicious activities following reports of an alleged human trafficking syndicate operating in the city.

Provincial Police Spokesperson Motantsi Makhele has urged anyone with information to come forward and report these incidents.

“Unfortunately, none of these incidents were reported to the police and no missing persons were reported within the mentioned period.

We have also deployed operatives on the ground to detect and monitor any suspicious activities. We are therefore appealing to anyone who may have information on these allegations to contact the SAPS”.
