Police are seen outside a home in Ajax on June 2, 2021 after a fatal shooting.

CLARINGTON, Ont. -- Police east of Toronto say two men and a woman are facing charges in an alleged case of human trafficking.

Durham Regional Police say a 15-year-old girl got into a fight with her family in early February and called an acquaintance to come pick her up and take her to another person's home.

While there, police allege she was forced to take drugs and perform sexual acts.

They say that after an unspecified amount of time, she was able to call a friend and escape.

After carrying out a search at a home in Clarington, Ont., police say they arrested two 20-year-olds and a 25-year-old in the case.

All three face six charges apiece, including trafficking in persons under 18.
