Police say an investigation began in April concerning trafficking of women in Niagara

Police have arrested a New Brunswick man in connection to human trafficking in Niagara.

NRP started looking into a certain case of trafficking in April, and as a result the suspect was ID'ed.

Police arrested Conrad Leduc in Welland yesterday, and charged him with trafficking, procuring, and material benefiting.

He remains in custody pending a bail hearing today in St. Catharines.

Police add there may be other victims, and ask if anyone has information to give them a call.
