In Princeton – Texas, currently, four individuals from India are kept in detention over human trafficking. This was only after police managed to raid and rescue 15 women who were working against their free will. Police chanced on this state of affairs – via a pest issue firm.
How the Crime Was Discovered
In March, a pest control team went to a house to deal with bed bugs. What they saw made them worried:

A Bigger Problem
