The Broward Sheriff’s Office arrested 27 women, 18 on suspicion of prostitution and nine on suspicion of providing unlicensed massages, during the day shift. The operation, known as “Operation: Red Light,” was conducted after police received numerous complaints of alleged prostitution and unlicensed massages.

With assistance from the Florida Department of Health Division of Unlicensed Activities, police followed tips and gathered information on the suspects.

The BSO said 16 locations were swarmed, mostly massage parlors, and the women were arrested on charges of providing services not offered on the location’s service list.

According to investigators, two of the women placed advertisements in local publications and provided services in their homes.
