Human Trafficking Enforcement
February 5, 2024 - Placer County Sheriff's Office officials report that this past week, the Placer County Sheriff’s Office participated in a weeklong statewide human trafficking operation called Operation Reclaim and Rebuild. The operation involved more than 95 federal, state, and local agencies across California. During this operation, 539 arrests and 65 rescues occurred statewide. We are proud to be part of such an impactful operation.
Along with this operation, we also wanted to share a case that we handled this week. The Sheriff’s Office was recently contacted by a victim of human trafficking. The victim was able to call us and stated that two individuals had been trafficking her for sex. Detectives worked on the case, and just this week, with the assistance of Sacramento County’s SEB unit, 23-year-old Marvin Green and 25-year-old Heidy Santamaria were arrested on charges of forcing the victim into prostitution. We are thankful to the detectives who worked on this case and for the assistance provided by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.
