Police in Oshkosh say they’ve uncovered a human trafficking ring.
The Oshkosh Police Department Vice and Narcotics Unit, along with Detectives and Patrol Office, did an undercover investigation on the trafficking on the south side of the city, which led to five men being arrested.
The men ranged from 23-43 years old and were arrested for pandering.
The men came from the Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, and Appleton areas.
Oshkosh Police says they continue to remain steadfast in their unwavering commitment to combatting human trafficking and continue to work diligently to investigate incidents like the one they uncovered.
Police continue saying it can be hard to get victims out of these situations for various reasons.
But to try and reduce the number of victims, they continue to do proactive investigations and be vigilant in their efforts to combat Human Trafficking.
According to the Human Trafficking Hotline, there were 109 cases in 2023 in Wisconsin, with 211 victims involved in those cases.
