DOWNINGTOWN BROTHEL BUSTED
By JENNIFER MILLER

Authorities shut down a suspected brothel Wednesday that investigators believe was operating here under the guise of a day spa.

Following a three-month investigation, the state police busted the Gold Star Spa and arrested two middle-aged women who allegedly worked for the prostitution business.

Police arrested the two women after executing search warrants at the suspected brothel Wednesday afternoon. Both women were charged with prostitution and related offenses.

Using undercover state troopers, authorities were allegedly able to determine the business was not a traditional spa, but a business where men could purchase sexual favors for $60 to $100, according to court records.

Citing code violations, borough officials shut down the brothel immediately after investigators made the arrests.

Police bust London Grove brothel
By JENNIFER MILLER

State and local police busted a prostitution business that was allegedly operating out of a home, and arrested four people who are reportedly connected to the brothel on Wednesday.

Police arrested two women for allegedly working as prostitutes under the management of another woman.

Authorities also arrested a man who was allegedly soliciting sexual favors in exchange for $25 when police raided the business operating inside the private home.

The investigation began roughly three months ago after authorities received “volumes of citizen complaints,” according to the state police Troop J Vice-Narcotics Unit.

In a prepared statement, state police said prostitutes were imported from New York and New Jersey through a coordinated prostitution network.
