NRP arrested the Niagara Falls woman, known as Candy, yesterday, laying 5 related charges

Another dent put into human trafficking by Niagara Regional police.

They've arrested a 56-year old woman from Niagara Falls on a variety of charges.

Back in March, police began looking into the trafficking of a person over 18-years old, and learned of a female suspect known as Candy.

Yesterday, they arrested Hung Mei Wong, and charged her with:

Trafficking in persons by recruiting
Procuring
Material benefit from sexual services
Financial/material benefit from trafficking person over 18 years
Advertising another person’s sexual services

Police believe there may be other victims.

If you know anything about this case, call police, and you will remain anonymous.

She remains in police custody pending a bail hearing today in St. Catharines.
