A teenage girl thought to be a victim of human trafficking has been rescued from a house in Belfast.
Police said the girl was recovered during a raid against an organised crime operation involving alleged cannabis cultivation, money laundering and identity card offences.
She is now being cared for by specialist agencies.
Two men, aged 33 and 35, were arrested in connection with drugs offences as a result of the search.
The raid was the latest strike in what is a wider police operation against organised criminals in Greater Belfast, north Down and Downpatrick that has been running since September 2009.
In that time several cannabis factories have been closed down and drugs with an estimated street value of £2.2 million (€2.45 million) have been seized.
Police recovered suspected false identification documents and several thousand pounds of cash in today’s raid but no drugs or cannabis factories were found in the house.
