Police launched major raids in North York early on Thursday morning in connection with a human trafficking investigation.

About a hundred officers from across the GTA executed search warrants in a building on Chalkfarm Drive, near Jane Street and Wilson Avenue.

There is no word on how many people were arrested or what the charges will be.

The raid is not connected to an RCMP raid on a human trafficking ring in Montreal on Wednesday, police said.
