The police rescued six women and two children, all from Latin America, in an anti-crime exercise in the Central Division on Thursday.
They also arrested the women’s two male captors in a house in Chaguanas.
The exercise took place between 3 am and 2 pm.
A police statement on Friday said the arrests and rescue came after a “meticulous human trafficking investigation” led by ACP, Criminal Division, Sharon Gomez-Cooper.
Sgt Walters and Cpl Ramsarran of the Counter-Trafficking Unit (CTU) co-ordinated the exercise. It included Special Investigations Task Force and the Multi-Option Police Section (MOPS) police.
The police also seized several items of “evidential value” at the premises.
Investigations are ongoing.
The police urge the public to report any suspected cases of human trafficking in their communities.
Signs that people may be victims of human trafficking include (especially in the case of women and children) people appearing malnourished and showing signs of physical injuries and abuse.
Victims often avoid eye contact, social interaction, and authority figures/law enforcement.
Other signs are that victims seem to adhere to scripted or rehearsed responses in social interaction and lack official identification documents.
They also appear destitute/lack personal items. They work excessively long hours and live at their place of employment.
The police said human-trafficking victims appear to have poor physical or dental health.
They might also have tattoos or branding on the neck and/or lower back and untreated sexually transmitted diseases.
People who suspect that human trafficking is happening near them can call the police at 999, 555, Crime Stoppers at 800-TIPS (8477), or 800-4CTU.

Popcaan continues his supremacy in dancehall with an upcoming collab with Post Malone.
There’s no doubt that the Unruly Boss is the hottest deejay in the game right now, and an upcoming collaboration with one of the best-selling rappers of this generation, Post Malone, will only help cement his position as one of the greatest Jamaicans to ever take up the mic. The collab was revealed by Post Malone’s Manager Dre London while speaking with the Observer. London also has a connection to Jamaica and may have been influential in getting the two artists to work together.
Dre London revealed that he and the “Firm and Strong” artist had already discussed the song and that Post Malone loves Popcaan’s work. He added that the pair had already met each other at one of the “Sunflower” rapper’s shows in the UK.
Popcaan has a long list of collaborations with high-profile artists, including Young Thug, Burna Boy, Davido, Maroon 5, and Drake, to name a few. His career is now just over a decade, and he has shown the rest of the industry that he has what it takes to maintain being one of the most sought-after artists in the genre.
Post Malone has enjoyed a similar trajectory and is beloved in the US for his unique blend of music. He also has just about a decade in the game and has a diamond-certified single called “Congratulations” featuring Quavo and has also set the record for most weeks at 77 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart.
The rapper, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, has sold more than 13 million albums and 95 million digital singles and is also ranked the eighth best-selling digital artiste. He has also won 10 Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, and one MTV Video Music Award.
Last year, Post Malone became the youngest artist in history to earn three RIAA diamond-certified singles. His songs “Rockstar” featuring 21 Savage, “Sunflower” featuring Swae Lee, and the 21 Savage assisted “Congratulations,” have all sold over 10 million copies in the United States. On top of that, he has many platinum and gold records under his belt.
Popcaan getting on a song with Post Malone will certainly further his success commercially as an artist on the international scene.
There’s no doubt that when these two greats get together, the track will be fire.

Deputy Governor, Franz Manderson
Deputy Governor Franz Manderson has issued the following statement in response to recent allegations in the media around civil servant employment contracts and reporting of wrongdoing.
The statement is as follows:
I am aware of recent media reports concerning allegations of assault by a Member of Parliament against female civil servants who were attending an official event on 13 September.
I am also aware of media conversations that have suggested that civil servant employment contracts restrict the ability of civil servants to report matters to the police or other official reporting bodies, which is incorrect. Our workplace rules both allow and encourage the reporting of wrongdoing.
As Head of the Civil Service, I wish to make it clear that we are committed to ensuring the safety of our employees and protecting their rights, including their right to report wrongdoing. The Civil Service has zero tolerance for misconduct.
The allegations of assault on 13 September are under RCIPS investigation, as confirmed by their statement on 14 September, I am therefore unable to comment further on the matter at this time. I will continue to exercise duty of care for all civil servants and will not abrogate my responsibility to provide a safe work environment where they feel cared for, protected and comfortable giving feedback including to senior leaders.
The Cabinet Office reported that the Cabinet recently rejected applications by two companies seeking exemption from the general requirement to have Caymanian participation.

Inna Di Mix with SammieRae will broadcast the grand finale of its breakout season later this month and will feature spirited competition and extraordinary concoctions from some of the island’s top mixologists.
Inna Di Mix is a talent-based, reality-tv style competition series, showcasing a dynamic group of seven Jamaican mixologists blending their way through an ultimate battle of skill and personality.
“Since the airing of the first episode on Saturday, August 20, each episode of this series has represented an exploration of Jamaica’s breath-taking scenery, colourful flavours and vibrant culture, against the background of our bar chefs’ unquestionable expertise,” said a release announcing the grand finale to be aired on TVJ at 8:30pm on Saturday, September 24.
Leading up to the final episode, mixers have gone through a series of fiery competitions showcasing their skills and seeing how they measure up to a list of judging criteria surrounding the taste, presentation, and creativity of their creations.
Four mixologists have been eliminated thus far. The top three finalists will compete against each other for the grand prize — $300,000 cash, an all-expenses paid trip to the 2022 Caribbean Food & Rum Festival in Florida, along with the coveted title of Season One’s ‘Master Mixer’.
Inna Di Mix promises viewers more than a demonstration of bartending capabilities. On the night of the Grand Finale, viewers will get a front-row seat to the inspirations, emotions, and interactions behind every product, giving more substance and meaning to each challenge. They will also get the chance to participate in the winnings, with an opportunity to win prizes and surprises from the comfort of their homes.
Host of Inna Di Mix with SammieRae, Samantha-Rae McLean, said: “The overall goal is to shift the perspective on the industry of mixology and highlight some of the best mixologists that we have in Jamaica. We aim to educate people about the career.
“These mixologists do more than just pour ingredients into a glass and stir…mixology is a science and an art with many eclectic elements to it. Once you jump Inna Di Mix your experience at the bar should never be the same, so tune in to see how we Flip it, Twist it and Shake things up Inna Di Mix.”
