More than 30 children were rescued by U.S. Marshals from human trafficking in Southern California, including eight who were being sexually exploited, the FBI announced Friday.

The multi-day joint agency “Operation Lost Angels” involved more than two dozen partner agencies and was initiated on Jan. 11. The rescue operation recently culminated in the recovery of 33 children, Kristi K. Johnson, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, said in a press release.
