The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) says agents and investigators went undercover and posed as a minor or as a sex buyer at the end of July. While undercover, they communicated with a total of 10 suspects, who were arrested as they arrived at an arranged meeting place.

Authorities said 10 people were booked on probable cause felony solicitation of a minor under 18 years of age for prostitution.

The operation, led by the BCA's Minnesota Human Trafficking Investigators Task Force and the St. Paul Police Department, took place on July 30 and 31.
