Toronto police say they have arrested two people following a human trafficking investigation involving two underage female victims.

Police say the accused created online ads for sexual services, took sexualized pictures of the victims, transported them to hotels to meet clients, and kept the money they earned. On Thursday, officers arrested the suspects who are from both Hamilton and Toronto. The first suspect, 22-year-old Tyrique Harmer, is charged with trafficking persons under 18, possession of a weapon, publishing and possessing child pornography, and advertising another person's sexual services, in addition to several other offences.
