Seven men, between the ages of 20 to 52, and nine women, between the ages of 19 and 46, are facing trafficking and stolen property charges. More charges are expected to be laid.

Police believe there is a link between the latest raid and one in July, when 40 stolen bikes were recovered in the same block as Thursday’s raid.
