WEST PALM BEACH, Fla (CBS12) — The West Palm Beach Police Department has carried out yet another successful undercover prostitution sting, arresting ten individuals just before the Fourth of July holiday.
“Nobody should have to endure this in their neighborhood, in their area, or the city, for that matter,” West Palm Beach Police spokesman Mike Jachles said. “While people were in holiday mode on July 3rd, our officers were out there working the streets, making the arrests. We had ten people arrested.”
The arrested individuals face prostitution-related charges. Many of the locations where the arrests occurred are so-called “hot spots” in the north and south ends of the city, near homes, businesses, daycares, and other establishments.
