Vice Squad together with the South African Police Services Human Trafficking Task Team conducted an integrated operation in a house used as a brothel in Marais Street, Goodwood.

Vice Squad spokesperson Media enquiries: Nathan Ladegourdie says the house was being run by the same two Chinese National women that were previously arrested by the Vice Squad on charges of human trafficking.

“Two other Chinese National women were inside the residence at the time of the operation. One was deported for being in the country illegally; the other woman requested assistance from the Vice Squad to help her get out of the environment, and she was taken to a place of safety.

“On a same day we conducted an operation on another residence in Wellington Street, Goodwood, where it was suspected that a brothel was being run,” said Ladegourdie

He added that brothels are high on the their priority list operations such as these will help curb these illegal activities.
