WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — It’s an ongoing problem in the north end of West Palm Beach with drug deals and prostitution happening right out in the open along the Broadway corridor.
In their latest attempt to clear out crime in the area, multiple female officers with the West Palm Beach Police Department went undercover disguised as prostitutes. In just one night, they arrested half a dozen men for allegedly trying to solicit them.
Joseph Belanger, Anthony Gochez, Iurii Bludov, Mack Phillips, Pedro Esteban Gaspar, and Luis Gonzalez Acevedo were all booked into the Palm Beach County Jail this week on charges related to prostitution.
