    Officials say modern-day slavery is one of their focus areas as they widen their scope of investigations.

    On Thursday, suspected undocumented foreign nationals were found in a gated community in Centurion.

    It's believed they are part of a group that had been trafficked.

    The Hawks have called on community members to continue providing intel and assistance in witnessing and intercepting some of the operations.
