21 Arrests in Prostitution Sting
Police discovered wads of cash and a booming business as they arrest nearly two dozen people in a prostitution sting. Police say one of the women hauled into custody had enough money on her to buy a car.
Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans says 10 women and 11 men who hooked up for acts of prostitution, meeting at hotels and motels at Metro Airport and elsewhere in Wayne County, were arrested.
The arrests came in three days of stings targeting Craigslist, the free marketplace on the Internet where the women advertised as escorts and companions, only to charge up to $175 to $200 an hour as prostitutes.
Investigators say one woman was caught with $16,000 in her hotel room.
The prostitutes’ 11 customers were all from metro Detroit, but the women – aged 20 to 38 — were from Las Vegas and Missouri as well as Detroit and suburban Detroit.
