CRIME | Police bust vice ring allegedly active for three months in Cotai

The Public Security Police busted a prostitution ring at a hotel located in Cotai on Sunday afternoon, arresting a total of 14 mainlanders who had been offering sex services inside that hotel for three months.
According to the authorities, who took action after earlier receiving tip-­offs, a man and woman both aged 26 enlisted the rest of the suspects through social media and the Cotai Strip. The suspects, who hail from eight Chinese cities, were inducted into their ring as hookers while touting sex services inside a resort situated on that gambling strip.
Upon reaching a deal with their clients there, the pair then would mobilize the prostitutes through social media, where they usually maintained communication, to conduct sex services inside two of the hotel’s rooms, which were booked in advance.
Each prostitute would receive individual remuneration ranging between HKD1,500 to HKD2,000 for each service, but had to pay the ring organizers HKD500 per day as rent for the room and commissions of at least 10 percent of their own payment.
Through the investigations, it was discovered the pair behind the ring has profited to the tune of HKD7,500. The woman denied her role in manipulating prostitutes while the man acknowledged the illegal act.
Police uncovered some cash in different currencies and 15 cellphones in the rooms. All of the suspects were taken to the Public Prosecution Office.
