The Waynesville Police Department and Haywood County Sheriff’s Office is working to reassure parents after they were led to investigate an alleged human trafficking ring, but the tip turned out to be fake. It all started as a series of posts from a blogger based out of Buncombe County that indicated without evidence that child trafficking had been tied to the homeless community in the area. After investigating, however, the departments put out a statement saying, Law Enforcement has deemed the reports to be unfounded and unsubstantiated, and that no children have been targeted.
