The Osaka Grill and Supreme Buffet, a local favorite Asian/Japanese buffet restaurant is under investigation by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents . The business is located at 1633 Crofton Center, on Route 424/Davidsonville Road just off the busy Route 3.
According to a post on Facebook (since deleted) that had been shared more than 3,000 times (at time of publication) the restaurant and a residence on Aberdeen Drive were raided for sex and human trafficking, however a spokesperson for ICE declined to discuss the investigation beyond acknowledging the presence of the investigation.
There were other mentions of a raid on social media as well.

Crazy. Looks like Osaka Grill (Buffet) in Crofton was raided for human trafficking. I used to notice they brought all the workers into work in a van. I fixed their audio system there when they first opened. Waiting for details. Another place got raided too.
