by Fulton Watch News Feed

MILTON, Ga. — A Milton woman reported a suspicious incident to police Jan. 26, involving two people who were allegedly using coded human trafficking language at a retail store on Ga. 9.

The woman told police she entered the business’ bathroom and heard a man and woman yelling “Marco Polo.” She said she had read online that those words are used as a human trafficking method to abduct children, the incident report says.

The woman told police she called her partner on the phone and started talking loudly as she walked through the store, holding her young niece’s hand, to draw attention to the situation. When she left, she said the two individuals exited at the same time but did not follow her.

The woman also mentioned a similar incident from a year ago at a Walmart.
