Gardaí launch human trafficking investigation following discovery of 14 people in container
An Garda Síochána at Wexford Garda Station have commenced a human trafficking investigation following the discovery of fourteen people in a shipping container arriving in Rosslare Europort at approximately 3am on Monday, 8th January 2024.
Gardaí were alerted by UK authorities in advance and a co-ordinated plan was put in place with emergency services in Wexford in anticipation of their arrival to the port.
According to Gardaí, the nine men, three women and two girls have been assessed by medical personnel and have been deemed to be in good health.
Gardaí attached to Wexford Garda Station, supported by the Garda National Immigration Bureau, are investigating all of the circumstances of this incident. They are liaising closely with international counterparts through Europol in The Hague.
The ship’s crew are assisting An Garda Síochána with these enquiries.
Anyone with any information in relation to this incident, no matter how insignificant it may appear, is asked to contact Wexford Garda Station 053-9165200, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 66 11 or any Garda Station.
