Something of interest for you AMP patrons of late...
CARMEL -- Six people were arrested on prostitution-related charges Wednesday at three different locations in Carmel.
And police may have a surprise waiting for some customers -- video surveillance.
"Each parlor had video wired to record customers coming into the building," said Major Randy Schalburg of the Carmel Police Department. "The case is still ongoing and police may also focus on patrons visiting the parlors."
The arrests took place at 1980 East 116th Street; 31A 3rd Street SW (the second time this year arrests have been made at this location) and 3510 East 96th Street (the third time arrests have been made here in the past several months).
Schalburg said the arrests took place after undercover officers with the Hamilton/Boone County Drug Task Force paid $50 for a sexual act.

FYI, posting news reports of law enforcement actions in public forums, and specifically the names of those who were arrested, is a common ploy of LE. It's the same as getting their drug-smelling dog on TV: They can stop more activity with the media story than they could possibly do individually. This is why the Forum does not permit the posting of the names of arrestees, and why individual Forum Members are limited to posting one such report per year.[/blue][/size]
