Houston Police Rescue Human Trafficking Victims

2 Timothy 3:1-5 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.

Houston police received a desperate phone call pleading with them to come and save a family who was being held by smugglers.

The police raided a south Harris County home where they thought the woman and children were being held and instead discovered 110 people who were trapped inside a rancid “stash house” where human traffickers were holding them for ransom.

Authorities say at least three traffickers have been arrested in connection to the house.

The victims were kept without clothing and shoes in an attempt to keep them from attempting to flee the house.   The windows were boarded up from the inside and there were bars on the doors and windows.

The victims were between 5 and 47 years old and the majority were men.  They were taken to hospitals for treatment for dehydration and malnutrition.
