Three people, including two foreign nationals, accused of forcing a woman to work as prostitute in Milnerton appeared in court last week.
Hawks’ spokesman Captain Lloyd Ramovha said the South African woman and a Nigerian man and woman faced charges relating to human trafficking.
They appeared in the cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Friday December 8.
It is alleged that a 26-year-old woman was lured from Johannesburg after being promised work by a woman she knows.
Two men picked her up when she arrived in Cape Town and allegedly turned her into a sex worker. She escaped after some time and alerted the Hawks.
The case has been postponed to Friday December 15.
* Police have arrested two women and a man for burgling a house in Milnerton.
Milnerton police spokeswoman Captain Nopaya Madyibi said officers were called to the house in Mimosa Street at 9.27am on Friday December 8, where they found three suspects with what was presumed to be stolen property, including four cellphones, four watches, a stun gun, a mountain bike and a DStv decoder.
The police suspect the three could be linked to Sunset Beach burglary earlier that day.
A Renault Clio stolen at the scene of that crime was found abandoned later in Pienaar Road, Milnerton.
* Police arrested a 42-year-old man after he allegedly raped his wife at the couple’s home in Parklands on Wednesday December 6.
