Officers from the Guam Police Department's Tumon-Tamuning Precinct have arrested more than a dozen people in connection with a prostitution/human trafficking ring. GPD spokesperson Officer Allan Guzman says a woman went into the precinct Saturday night and sought help in retrieving her passport, which she claims was withheld by her boss.

Officers went to the Blue Room in Upper Tumon where they found a mini-brothel. Police believe the girls were brought over from Chuuk, under false pretenses that they would be working at a restaurant. Instead, they would be forced to work in the brothel, as their passports were allegedly withheld by the owners of the establishment, who are Korean.

The case remains under investigation and no other details have been released as this time.
