More suspects have been arrested in connection to human trafficking in Niagara.

Back in December, police began looking into a certain case of someone over the age of 18 being trafficked.

As a result, two men were identified, and police arrested them today.

Police say 47-year old Wasim Ahmed of Maple, and 61-year old Mohammad Arshad Ghummian of Mississauga face charges:

They were held pending a bail hearing today in St. Catharines.

Police believe there may be more victims.
