Man connected with Hamilton human trafficking probe arrested for breaking bail

Police have arrested a Hamilton man, already facing criminal charges related to human trafficking, for violating bail conditions.

Detectives say the 31-year-old is connected with an investigation that began in April 2020 after a victim came forward to police.

The suspect was arrested and charged with human trafficking-related offences in May.

Investigators say the man was arrested again on Thursday for possession of cocaine and a large sum of cash. He faces eight new charges for allegedly failing to comply with his probation conditions and allegedly trafficking drugs.
