South Carolina Officers Bust Human Trafficking Operation
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Police say that they uncovered a human trafficking operation that was bringing illegal aliens into the Upstate for a fee.
Investigators said that a man living in Greenville wanted his brother to come to the Upstate from Mexico, so he paid to have him brought to Greenville illegally.
But Mateo Martin said that once his brother got here, smuggled in with several other people in a van, the circumstances changed.
Martin had already paid $2,500 for the service, but he said that the driver demanded another $500. When Martin said he didn't have the money, the driver took off, saying he was taking the brother back to Mexico...
