Thirty-seven suspects have been arrested in connection with a large scale child sex crimes and human trafficking operation, police in Phoenix, Arizona, said Friday.

“The Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, and Chandler Police Departments partnered with Homeland Security and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office for ‘Operation Broken Hearts,’ an undercover operation targeting sexual predators engaged in child sex crimes and human trafficking,” Fox 10 reported.

“Throughout the operational period, officers and undercover detectives placed ads on websites and apps which are commonly sought out by suspects seeking illegal sex acts with children,” the department said.

“These suspects solicited and/or brokered deals for various sex acts and were subsequently arrested,” it continued.

In April, AZFamily.com reported that Phoenix was still a hot spot for sex trafficking despite the coronavirus pandemic.

Trafficking moved online at the beginning of the pandemic but victims were later forced back onto the streets, advocates told the outlet.

“Victims are wearing less and less clothing, and they are having to do more to attract customers. But there are lots of customers out there,” said  Dominique Roe-Sepowitz, Director of Sex Trafficking Intervention Research at Arizona State University.

On Friday, Phoenix police explained that the agencies’ efforts were part of a nationwide effort to stop the illegal activity.

The department also urged those with information about someone being trafficked to call local law enforcement or the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 888-373-7888 or visit humantraffickinghotline.org.
