INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department investigation has led to an arrest and the rescue of two individuals from a human trafficking situation.

The case began with a simple welfare check and unfolded into a complex rescue operation. On August 14, 2025, officers were dispatched to a home in the 9000 block of Wesleyan Road for a “check the welfare” investigation.

Based on their training, officers grew concerned that an 18-year-old woman at the scene was a human trafficking victim. They secured the building and called in the IMPD Human Trafficking Unit. Detectives were granted a search warrant. They rescued a second potential victim and arrested 31-year-old Lovie Grace.

During the search, police found evidence of commercial sex acts, along with cocaine and marijuana.
