Seven human trafficking victims found during Joplin massage parlor raids

(From the Joplin Police Department)

On February 8, 2018 the Joplin Police Department served three search warrants as part of an ongoing human trafficking investigation.

The search warrants were served at 2906 South Main, 500 East 32nd Suite #4 and 1329 East 32nd Street Suite #5. These locations are businesses that are operating as massage parlors. Rapha House assisted us with our investigation.

From the three locations combined, a total of seven adult females were identified as victims of human trafficking and removed from the businesses. They were immediately paired with services to ensure their well-being and safety. No arrests were made yesterday, and the investigation is still on-going.
