New Sting In LB on PCH at Magnolia
From the Long Beach Press Telegram newspaper, dated 2/18/2011:
[quote]10 Arrested In Long Beach Prostitution Sting.
Undercover police posing as prostitutes arrested nine would-be customers and one seemingly oblivious prostitute, during a sting in the West Division on Thursday.
The operation was carried out by Vice detectives and West Division Directed Enforcement officers, who set up near Pacific Coast Highway and Magnolia Avenue, said Vice Lt. Rudy Komisza, of the Long Beach Police Department.
"Police officers posed as decoys in local areas where we've received numerous complaints from the community about quality of life issues impacting businesses and residents," the lieutenant said.
The decoy officers arrested nine men who came to the area to solicit sex, Komisza said.
One woman was arrested for prostitution after she walked up to the officers working the operation and offered her services.
Komisza said Vice investigators routinely conduct such operations, particularly when members of the community notify authorities about prostitution in their neighborhoods.
Anyone with concerns about similar activities in their area are encouraged to call the Vice detail at 562-570-7219.[/quote]Here is a link to the original article:

EXCLUSIVE REPORT: All Star Weekend SUNSET BLVD
Hello, Fellow Mongers,
Yesterday and the day before I had the pleasure of going for a joy ride. My friend and I went to go do our usual Thai spot in Thai Town in Hollywood. That Friday night was the day it was raining cats and dogs, and the crowd was still out there. We were cruising down Hollywood Blvd, and thought we would check out the seen. Just as everyone is aware, it's All-Star weekend, so the ho's, and ho's out-of-state are in for the clientele. I've never seen girls like this in Hollywood. Some of these girls are probably groupies, which is why they are so hot.
Friday was nothing compared to Saturday night. I usually do my other tracks before I come down this way. And all of the other ones were probably dead because of the rain. I thought I would give the northern section of Western a try since I didn't have any luck anything Adams and further south, and boy I'm glad I did! Just as I passed Wilshire, I already ran into 3 BSW's over where the Vietnamese noodle restaurants were coming up after 3rd and before Melrose. I stopped for one of them. These girls obviously don't take risks. I don't go out of my way to get someones attention so I guess they really want you to put up a proposition sign on your forehead. I had the same reaction from a WSW on the same street passing the 7 eleven. Moving on, I did a cruise down to Vermont and Sunset just to start from the end. And guys, there is where it felt like the old school Sunset back in the day. There were girls EVERYWHERE ON THE STRIP! I recall the first few times when I was in HS I did my first mongering here and it felt like I went back in time.
Right on Sunset and Alexandria on the corner of the gas station, I see this FINE WSW. I had to talk to this one so I did my cruise around the block. Surprisingly enough she hopped in quickly and we did the cop check. I asked her why Sunset was poppin', and she confirmed that it was because of the All-Star event. This girl is Irish and also has a 510 area code. Very reasonable rates for her quality and I will participate soon. Seniors can private msg me for this Irish beauty's contact info; she is worth every dollar she asks and looks stunning.
I continue to stroll down Sunset, and at all these intersections, Mariposa before the 7 eleven, Normandie, Kingsley, Harvard, southbound side of Serrano heading to Western, it had literally easily 20 or more working girls. All of them on the Sunset strip were more aggressive. I did not interview any of these girls since they were in groups. LE presence was very light.
All of you mongers need to go out there tonight (Sunday, Feb 20th). I'm sure all of the same girls are going to be out there. And just as some of you confirmed, it's some of the girls from Backpage that are out there as well. This is an opportunity you guys should not miss! And also wanted to let you know that maybe you should consider getting a motel spot ready because they are going to be full. Good Luck and have fun.
There goes the neighborhood
Dude, zauriel, I live by that albertsons, shop there a few times a week and I hit that mickey dees once in a while. Unreal that you scored street meat on lincoln, in santa monica proper, in broad day. You can die now. I would never ever pick up a walker, and never in SM which is like bust central (except for half of korea working in that building by the dep building).
I love how she got you off for 20 bucks, it is like you named that tune in 2 notes. FTW.
Major Recent Sting on Imperial Hwy Track
From the Torrance Daily Breeze, dated 3/7/2011:
[quote]25 Held In Hawthorne Prostitution Crackdown.
Police have arrested 11 suspected prostitutes, one suspected pimp and 13 alleged "johns" in a crackdown on prostitution in Hawthorne, officers said Monday.
The enforcement began Feb. 21 following complaints from the community about illegal activity on Imperial Highway between Inglewood Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard, Hawthorne police Lt. Gary Tomatani said.
The city is seeking "stay-away orders" on each of the suspected prostitutes and pimp to keep them from returning to the area. So far, judges have granted orders on four of them, Tomatani said.
"The other cases are still actively being processed in the court system," Tomatani said.
On Friday, Hawthorne police officers conducted a "john" sting near Imperial Highway and Hawthorne Boulevard. From 11:30 am To 4:30 p. M, female police officers posing as prostitutes walked the sidewalks.
After motorists propositioned the undercover officers, an arrest team nearby rushed in and arrested the suspected customers. Thirteen men, including six from Hawthorne, were taken into custody.
"One of the men arrested offered drugs in exchange for sex," Tomatani said. However, the man did not have narcotics on him, he said.
Tomatani said Hawthorne police officers will continue operations to combat prostitution throughout the year. Police asked that anyone with information about prostitution-related activity call the department at 310-349-2700.[/quote]Here is a link to the original article:

Notice the time of the bust. I didn't know there was that much activity during the day on Imperial.
