Prostitution sting busts six 'Johns' in West Palm Beach; focus shifts to south end

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — A handful of men were snagged in the latest prostitution sting in Downtown West Palm Beach.

The West Palm Beach Police Department reported a total of six so-called “Johns” were busted Tuesday for allegedly driving up to proposition prostitutes. Little did they know that the ladies they were trying to pick up were undercover cops.

Prostitution continues to be an issue, boldly unfolding primarily in the north end of the city. CBS12 News has been keeping up with this story over the last year as police continue cracking down on what seems to be a revolving door of crime.

What's intriguing is that despite ongoing reports in the north end, the majority of this week’s arrests happened in the south end.
