Three Calgary massage parlours have been shut down following a year-long investigation into human trafficking.
ALERT (Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams) says two Calgary homes have also been identified as being used for illegal activities following a joint investigation involving ALERT, the Calgary police and the RCMP.
Hai (Anna) Yan Ye, 48, was arrested on April 16 and has been charged with advertising sexual services, drug offences and firearms offences.
Staff Sgt. Gord MacDonald of ALERTโs human trafficking unit says warrants were obtained and searches carried out on three commercial properties and two homes:
Investigators also seized $15,000 in suspected proceeds of crime, a shotgun with ammunition and drugs.
MacDonald says four suspected victims, believed to be recent immigrants who were exploited into the sex trade, were identified and are being provided with help.
โThis has been a common trend that takes advantage of their unfamiliarity and vulnerability,โ says MacDonald.
He says the investigation dates back to February 2023 when police received a tip about suspicious activity taking place at Moonlight Massage, which was forced to close in December 2023, after the landlord identified illegal suites on the premises.
More on Crime
Ye was released from custody on a number of court-imposed conditions but ALERT says the investigation continues and further charges are being considered.
โThere are a number of legitimate massage therapists operating from their homes (in Calgary), and those are not the people we want to be concerned about,โ says MacDonald. โWhat we are concerned about is the people who are being exploited in activities such as illicit sexual services and itโs very hard for police services to discern between one and the other, so information from the public is very important to help in these investigations.โ
ALERT is asking anyone with information about this, or any case involving suspected human trafficking offences, to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or the Calgary Police Service non-emergency line at 403-266-1234.
