WARWICK, R.I. (WPRI) - Members of the
Warwick Police
Department's Special Operations Group are investigating reports
of prostitution said to be taking place at a Post Road address.
The group, along with Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE),
executed a search warrant Thursday afternoon at 1550B Post Road.
Police said although they have not arrested anyone at this time,
three women are being questioned at the scene.
Police said
they executed the search warrant after finding evidence of possible
prostitution activity at the Post Road location during a two week
probe.
Police said members of DAYONE, a Sexual Assault/Domestic
Violence Advocacy Agency helped authorities conduct the
investigation.
Police also
said there is no connection between the ongoing controversy over
legislative loopholes involving prostitution laws and the decision
to execute the search warrant. The investigation is on-going at
this time.
