The three teenagers and one woman wanted in relation to a human trafficking investigation in Calgary have been arrested, according to police.
Arrest warrants for the three teens and 29-year-old Jessica Nyome Louise Vinje were issued after an investigation into claims a young woman had been forcibly confined in an apartment for five days and made to perform sexual acts with more than 10 men.
