In a major law enforcement operation spanning 10 months, Halton Regional Police, along with multiple other jurisdictions, conducted a large-scale human trafficking investigation known as 'Project Troubadour.' The operation resulted in nine arrests and the seizure of numerous illicit items, including luxury vehicles, drugs, and cash. The suspects face over 80 charges, including human trafficking and drug-related offenses. Authorities emphasized the psychological harm inflicted on victims and stated that the number of victims identified—12—is likely just the beginning of a larger issue. The investigation received support from various police forces and funding from the Ministry of the Solicitor General.
