PROSTITUTION STING NETS 35 ON 27TH AVE

Dec 26, 2002


Officer Karen Hughes, our Phoenix Police Department Community Action Officer, reports that the latest prostitution sting along 27th Avenue resulted in the arrest of 35 individuals. The arrests, made by both male and female undercover police officers, took place from 3 to 11pm . The Phoenix PD has been working diligently to help curb prostitution along 27th Avenue, mainly between Indian School Road and Northern Avenue. Both the prostitutes themselves and the solicitors, or ?“johns?” were the targets of these undercover arrests, and many of those arrested may now face felony charges.
The names of the prostitutes? will go to the city prosecutor so that he can request travel restrictions to keep them from returning to 27 Avenue. Once that is accomplished, the names & photographs of known prostitutes will be given to the neighborhoods so that? they can recognize these ladies and advise the Police if they are seen in the area.
Police officers will continue to vigorously attack prostitution activity on 27th Avenue, with additional stings on various days at least monthly, until further notice.
