Twenty-six foreigners have been rescued in a suspected human trafficking ring bust.
•    Eleven have been taken to hospital for medical treatment.
•    Authorities were alerted after Sandringham residents reported suspicious activity.
A suspected human trafficking ring has been bust in Johannesburg, and 26 foreigners have been rescued.
Hawks spokesperson Colonel Philani Nkwalase said a joint operation between Sandringham police, the Gauteng Hawks, Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) and a private security company led to the dismantling of the alleged trafficking ring in Sandringham on Thursday.

At about 21:00, authorities responded to a tip-off from neighbours about suspicious activities at a residence in Luster Road.
On arrival, they found 15 naked people, believed to be Ethiopian nationals, captive inside the house.
"Preliminary investigation by the joint team revealed that the victims broke open a window and burglar bar and escaped. A few were rounded up in the area close to the crime scene while others escaped," said Nkwalase.
Eleven were transported to hospital for medical treatment.
"Further investigation led to the arrest of three suspects who were allegedly involved in human trafficking and illegal possession of a firearm. The suspects were found with a 9mm P Tokarev pistol, one magazine, and no ammunition," Nkwalase said.

The matter was referred to the Gauteng Hawks' Serious Organised Crime Investigation team for further exploration, and the 26 undocumented individuals' status as trafficking victims in being investigated.
Nkwalase urged the public to report to authorities any person seen without clothes in the area because they could be linked to the incident.
