14 arrested in Cumberland County human trafficking, prostitution operation DA

This month, law enforcement in Cumberland County arrested 14 men during Operation Impact Demand XII, part of a broader initiative against human trafficking and prostitution. The operation targets individuals seeking sexual services, with arrests made at a hotel in East Pennsboro Township. Since its launch in 2022, the operation has resulted in 113 arrests, highlighting the ongoing issue of human trafficking in the area. Among those arrested, Andrew Hagy faces additional charges for possession of a controlled substance and resisting arrest. Officials assert that these operations are vital for safeguarding victims and raising awareness about human trafficking.

The district attorney's office remains committed to these efforts, which have become increasingly crucial in recent years. Community members are encouraged to report suspicious activities to assist in these initiatives. Addressing human trafficking not only protects vulnerable individuals but also contributes to the overall safety of the community.
