Two Arrested in Undercover Human Trafficking Sting

DALY CITY, CA- Police arrested two people last week in Daly City on suspicion of prostitution as part of a human trafficking sting, police said.

An undercover officer went at 9:50 a.m. Dec. 31 to an apartment in the first block of Hillside Boulevard after responding to an ad on the Internet containing provocative photos of a female.

Police said a masseuse at the apartment allegedly offered sex to an undercover officer. Officers who responded also found items indicating the masseuse was working as a prostitute, police said.

The masseuse, a 46-year-old Oakland resident, was given a citation for prostitution.

Another officer responded at 1:33 p.m. to an ad from the same website and was sent to a home in the 300 block of Shipley Avenue, according to police. A masseuse there allegedly offered sex to the officer and was arrested.

The masseuse, a 30-year-old Daly City resident, was booked into the county jail, police said.

Police are not yet releasing the names of the suspects, who investigators determined were not working together but could be part of a larger crime operation.
