Pair convicted of human trafficking offences

A woman and man have been convicted of human trafficking offences in Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness and Edinburgh.

Mananchaya Wanitthanawet, 40 and Cameron Wilson, 30, were convicted at the High Court in Dundee on Thursday, 22 August, 2024.

They are due to be sentenced at a later date.

The offences took place between November, 2019 and December, 2020.

Detective Inspector Simon Murray said: “Human trafficking has no place in Scotland.

“We will continue target criminals who abuse, control and exploit people, working with partners nationally and internationally to bring offenders to justice, and to raise public awareness to help identify victims and ensure they get the support they need.

“People within local communities are often the first to spot when someone may be trafficked or is being exploited.

If you have concerns, or information, please report this to us on 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 so we can investigate and take action.”
