Operation Reclaim and Rebuild in Ventura County results in multiple human trafficking arrests and victim rescues.

An annual operation targeting human trafficking rescued 11 minors from possible exploiters and resulted in 547 arrests statewide, including more than 230 in Los Angeles County, authorities announced this week.

A major statewide operation, "Operation Reclaim & Rebuild," led by the Los Angeles Police Department and supported by over 100 law enforcement agencies, resulted in the rescue of 177 human trafficking victims and the arrest of over 500 suspects.

Our actions saved one 14-year-old, three 15-year-olds, one 16-year-old, and two 17-year-olds from lives that were being exploited by abuse and danger," said LAPD Chief of Police Jim McDonnell.
