LAWRENCE — Police said they made more than a dozen prostitution-related arrests after a sting along a section of Broadway.

This is the second time in two months that a prostitution sting has brought arrests in the city.

Some 13 arrests were made on prostitution-related charges and two people were arrested on warrants, said police Chief Roy Vasque.

During the operation, detectives focused on a stretch of Broadway between Haverhill and Cross streets where prostitutes are routinely seen working, Vasque said.

Broadway is a "gateway to the city" and Vasque said police often receive complaints about prostitution from business owners and managers in the area.

"It's a quality-of-life issue we are going to continue to address," Vasque said.

Police ran a similar sting in mid-August and arrested 15 people. Many of them have addresses outside the city, police said.

On Tuesday, Detective Thomas Cuddy, the special assistant to the police chief, primarily was used as the undercover officer who approached the suspected prostitutes during the investigation.

More details on the sting and the names of those arrested will appear in Friday's print edition of The Eagle-Tribune and online at eagletribune.com.

In total, 32 arrests were made by police during Wednesday's sting, which spanned the day and evening.

Using undercover officers, detectives have heavily targeted the area on Broadway between Cross and Haverhill streets several times now since August.

Police Chief Roy Vasque said police have received numerous complaints from business owners and managers about criminal activity in the area.

The continued operations in the area are part of the department's ongoing commitment to "quality of life" issues in the city, he said.

On Wednesday, two female police officers posed as prostitutes and a male detective also acted as a "john," a term commonly to describe customers seeking prostitutes.

By day's end, 18 makes were arrested for solicitation, six females were arrested for sexual conduct for a fee and

8 individuals were arrested on outstanding arrest warrants, three of which were for prostitution, according to Lawrence police.

In 2018, there have been 66 prostitution-related arrests in the city, police said.
