(Beaver County, PA) Four massage parlors in Beaver County all got raided by Beaver County law enforcement at the same time yesterday. The locations that got raided were Merchant Street Body Works of Ambridge, Moonlit Spa and Wen’s Bodywork, both of Baden and Chinese Massage Therapy of Hopewell. According to Beaver County District Attorney Nate Bible, these raids to these four Beaver County massage parlors yesterday was a coordinated effort to crack down on human trafficking in Beaver County, and ICE was involved but only to help identify people. The victims are mostly women and some others and witnesses told WPXI that women were removed from the Hopewell and Ambridge parlors.
