A WOMAN has been arrested on suspicion of running a brothel in Evesham.
Police raided a massage parlour in Vine Street on Thursday (June 18) and once inside, found evidence of a suspected network of criminality.
The 51-year-old was arrested on suspicion of controlling prostitution for financial gain under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
DC Paul Luke of South Worcestershire Proactive CID said: “Yesterday we executed a warrant at a massage parlour in Evesham in response to concerns around sexual services being offered there.
“Evidence of such illegal behaviour was found at the premises, and a 51-year-old woman was arrested who is now helping police with enquiries.
“Premises such as this are often linked to modern day slavery and human trafficking so warrants show we will always act upon concerns around criminal exploitation.”
Officers seized two computer tablets and six mobile phones for further digital forensic examination.
