"The signs that we have is this is a human trafficking matter, because they were actually escaping from that house and they were kept naked, almost as if it's a modus operandi to keep them humiliated and not trying to escape," said Philani Nkwalase, a police spokesperson.
"After neighbours in the Sandringham suburb heard the commotion and tipped off the police, three people were arrested on suspicion of people trafficking and possessing an illegal firearm."
"Police urged the public to report any other escaped naked people in the area, highlighting the ongoing human trafficking issues in Johannesburg linked to immigrant populations."
