Police have issued a Canada-wide warrant for a 33-year-old Ahmed Adam after an investigation into human trafficking in Saskatoon that spanned more than a year.
Adam is charged with a number of offences including trafficking persons, material benefit from sexual services and material benefit from sexual services provided by a person under 18, according to a police news release.
Saskatoon police say they are aware of one victim who was reported to have been trafficked by Adam, with the two parties being known to one another, and investigators say they believe there are other victims.

Adam may be in Saskatoon, but police say he also has ties to other communities in Western Canada including Calgary and Edmonton.
