Six adults and two children were rescued in an anti-human-trafficking operation late Feb. 5 at two truck stops in Missouri, the state attorney general office announced.
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s office said on Feb. 6 the joint law enforcement operation was carried out at two St. Joseph truck stops and resulted in the rescue of five female victims, one male, and two children—a 2-year-old and an infant. Meanwhile, the effort also resulted in three arrests with additional arrests possibly to come.
