Dunwoody police arrest several in prostitution sting

Seven people were arrested in early September and charged with prostitution in an undercover operation conducted by Dunwoody police and several other law enforcement agencies.

Three others were arrested for pimping and one person for escorting without a permit.

Dunwoody police worked with the FBI’s metro Atlanta Child Exploitation Task Force and the Gwinnett’s Vice Unit to conduct the operation at a Dunwoody hotel, according to a department spokesman.

“Our goal of the operation was to rescue any victims of human trafficking and reduce crime as it relates to prostitution,” Dunwoody Officer Tim Fecht said in a statement.
