Twenty-one men were arrested in Brandon, Man., over a 30-hour period as part of an investigation into sexual exploitation, police say.
Brandon police, with the help of local RCMP and Winnipeg’s counter-exploitation unit, cracked down on the sex trade as part of a joint operation called Project Block on the weekend.
Between Friday and Saturday, investigators arrested the men for obtaining sexual services for consideration, both on the street and in local hotels. In 14 of the arrests, the accused’s vehicles were impounded as well.
