POLICE have closed three more bars as part of an investigation into human trafficking.

Officers closed La Salsa in the Beast Market on Friday and arrested the owner, a 35-year-old Iranian man. The raid came after police were called in to investigate complaints that some dancers had been performing fully nude and selling sex services. Officers discovered that one of the lap dancers, believed to be from Romania, was only 16. Three clubs in Halifax – La Salsa, Barbarella’s and Bar Rouge – have also now been closed as part of the investigation. The man has been bailed pending further inquiries.
