(11:42) SANTA CRUZ – Four massage parlors were busted in a recent human trafficking and prostitution sting in Santa Cruz. The city’s police department launched an investigation last week following complaints from the community. During the operation, undercover officers visited Lucky Valley Health Center on Water Street, Asian Massage on Fern Street, Health Care Massage on River Street and Golden Bay Spa on Frederick Street. In all four locations, employees solicited the officers by offering to perform sex acts in exchange for money. In all, four women were cited for soliciting an act of prostitution. (S.G.)
