2 Women Arrested During Lake Ronkonkoma Massage Parlor Raid

Two women were arrested during a massage parlor raid in Lake Ronkonkoma Tuesday evening, police said.

In response to numerous community complaints, Suffolk County Police Fourth Precinct Crime Section officers, Suffolk County Criminal Intelligence detectives, U.S. Department of Homeland Security officers and Town of Brookhaven Code Enforcement officers conducted an investigation into illegal activities at Nichole Spa, located at 321 Portion Road, around 5 p.m.

Two employees–Lili Jiang, 48, of Ronkonkoma, and Xiu Yun Liu, 53, of Flushing, were arrested and charged with unauthorized practice of a profession, a Class E felony under the New York State Education Law.

An investigation by a Town of Brookhaven building inspector, Town of Brookhaven Code Enforcement officers and a Town of Brookhaven fire marshal revealed numerous occupancy and town code violations resulting in the location being condemned, police said.

The women are scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip Wednesday.

There have now been six massage parlor raids in Lake Ronkonkoma since January, leading to nine arrests.
