A 17-year-old girl is among three Venezuelan nationals who are suspected to be victims of human trafficking.
According to reports, the Venezuelan victims, 17, 18, and 24, were held against their will on August 30th.
They were also reportedly sexually assaulted.
They managed to escape their captors on September 1st and are assisting with the investigation.
Without sharing details, police explained that the Venezuelan women might have fallen victim to human-trafficking networks and were recruited to come to the island with the promise of repaying for the trip including accommodation.
Their failure to pay might have led to the demand of 15-thousand dollars.
