Six men have been arrested during a prostitution sweep in Windsor.
Police said the two day "John Sweep" was done June 11 and 12 and targeted those who buy sexual services.
"The goal of this operation was to identify and charge buyers of sexual services, as a means of reducing the market for sex trafficking," police said in a news release Thursday afternoon.
Investigators said six men, ranging from 19 to 63 years old, communicated with undercover officers to get sexual services. Five of the men are from Windsor and one man is from Michigan. All of them were charged with communicating for the purpose of obtaining sexual services and released with a future court date.
No names have been released.
"Human trafficking is still a very under reported crime and the Windsor Police Service is committed to reducing the market for sex trafficking, assisting victims of sex trafficking, identifying suspects in human trafficking, and educating the public on ways they can spot signs of human trafficking," police added. "Human Trafficking is a crime that takes an entire community to combat."
Call 911 if there is immediate danger to a person or if you suspect a child under 18 years old is being trafficked.
