The North Sumatra Police have sent a team of investigators to Jakarta to track down a recruitment company involved in the alleged trafficking of 212 Indonesian workers to Cambodia, which was foiled last Friday in a joint operation mounted by immigration officials, police and the local migrant workers' protection agency (BP2MI).

The company’s name has been withheld, as the investigation is ongoing.

The regional police’s preliminary investigation found that the company used its website to recruit potential migrant workers from Aceh, East Java, Jambi, Jakarta, North Sumatra and West Kalimantan. It had then transported them to Medan and arranged their flights to Sihanoukville, Cambodia.
