(WBAP/KLIF) — North Texas police have busted two human traffickers. Richland Hills police have arrested two men suspected of human trafficking after a routine traffic stop. The men were pulled over with three teenage boys in the back seat who were acting nervously.
None of the five occupants had i.d. or spoke English. After a Spanish speaking officer arrived on the scene, police determined the 17, 18, and 19 year old young men from Guatemala were victims of human trafficking.
Officers arrested 34-year-old Jorge Martinez Jimenez and 45-year-old Jose Leonel Flores and booked them into the Richland Hills joint detention center.
Both men face multiple charges, including trafficking of persons under 18, a first-degree felony. Police said the victims were taken to a local victim advocacy center for further assistance.
