Is there a sex traffic ring targeting Grandville?

The post was featured on a local Facebook group and alleges that Cabela's in Grandville has warned employees about 'nabbing' for sex trafficking:

Hey everyone. Heads up. My hubby works at Cabelas in Grandville
He said there was an order of sorts that no one is to leave from work to the parking lot alone. Especially women and young girls. Always in a group with the men. Evidently there has been a lot of nabbing for sex trafficking. From Detroit to Chicago ..,and Grand Rapids. this warning I guess went out to all the stores in that area. Be aware. At all times.

What did the original poster say about the warning?

The original poster has since deleted the post once questions were asked about the information given to the employees.
