Cranberry Prostitution Raid: Three To Face Charges
Three employees of the Chinese Foot Massage in Cranberry were taken into custody Wednesday.
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA - Three employees of the Chinese Foot Massage on Dutilh Road will face charges following a police raid Wednesday. Police told WPXI-TV that the raid was prompted by multiple complaints that suspected prostitution was occurring in the massage parlor.
In addition to the arrests, authorities confiscated massage tables, rifles and office equipment from the building, which is located behind Burger King.
“At this time, anything that would be in the business of a prostitution is what we are looking for. So that would include electronics, banking records, ownership records, funds or anything indicating illegal activities,” Sgt. Chuck Mascellino of the Cranberry police told the station.
