A notoriously violent gang rooted in Nova Scotia is recruiting girls and young women in Southwestern Ontario and pimping them out along the Highway 401 corridor, say police and women’s advocates. RelatedThis summer, a Humber College criminal justice professor told the National Post the gang is known for its vicious style of trafficking girls and young women. “I can confirm that there are groups, (recruiting women and girls in the region), including the group you are talking about,” Miller said. The gang is among others pimping girls along the Highway 401 corridor, said Det. Gang members kidnap female victims and torture them, threatening to harm their family and friends if they try to escape.
