Two Venezuelan nationals have been charged with Trafficking in Persons and False Imprisonment.
They are 30-year-old Clement Aleong and 19-year-old Geraldine Abreu.

Four suspects, including Abreu and ALEONG, were also arrested. A Silver Toyota Aqua was also seized for evidential purposes.

The other two suspects were released pending further enquiries.
Investigations are ongoing.
