PHOENIX-Scottsdale and Surprise police departments conducted a 2-day sting that resulted in the arrest of several people across the state.
The Surprise Police Department’s Special Victim’s Unit partnered with the Human Exploitation and Trafficking Team from Scottsdale Police Department on a two-day task force focused on identifying, confronting and reducing sex trafficking-related crimes in the Valley.
One of the suspects arrested is a registered sex offender.
“This operation was made possible by the hard work and cooperation between involved agencies as part of a nationwide effort by law enforcement to eliminate human and sex trafficking,” wrote the Surprise Police Department on Facebook.
