The 4 men and 4 women have been charged with either keeping or being found in a
common bawdy house.
Among those charged are a 38 year old Wasaga Beach man and a 68 year old
Collingwood man.
Others charged are from Toronto, Burlington and Bradford.
Huronia West and Barrie OPP along with the Major Support Team and Rural and
Agriculture Crime Unit raided 4 homes at the same time Wednesday morning.
Huronia West OPP Constable Mark Kinney tells Bayshore Broadcasting News a tip
from the public resulted in 4 search warrants for the raids.
The 4 locations are on River Road West in Wasaga Beach, on Bayfield Street in
Midhurst and along Highway 27 and Highway 11.
Kinney says they believe all 4 brothels are linked in some way -- but they are
still trying to determine the connection.
Police also seized 2 thousand dollars in cash, 5 thousand dollars worth of
massage tables and equipment and a 60 thousand dollar HUMMER.
Police hope the raids will increase the level of safety in the community.
