[QUOTE=DankStank;7428024]It looks like there was a raid / bust in Arcadia on Saturday around 4-5 pm.
There was an AAMP on the cross streets of Duarte and 2nd Street. I was driving down 2nd around that time and I saw cops all over the place. Granted, I haven't been there in a long time which is why I know but I wonder if anyone else have seen it.
I can't find any news on it but if you're a local the area, maybe you might have seen / heard.[/QUOTE]If anyone has additional info or a link to the story, please share. Wondering how long they've been watching that spot.
Do you think this was limited to just the Arcadia spot?

For example, one of the Irvine raids took a few weeks for the story to show up on the news, even though it was all over Reddit from day one. One of my concerns about these places, is that most of them have surveillance and you don't know what kind of footage they have. For example, you don't know if they also have hidden cams in the bedrooms. The cops pretty much have full access to whatever these places recorded, as well as digital devices, such as their mobile phones. If a place has been raided, they've most likely been watching it for months and gathering evidence, unless it was something urgent, like a reported imprisonment, kidnapping, or rape.

I don't know if there was more than one AAMP on 2nd, but I have visited one on that street.
What's the reddit with this info?

I say this because I had a bad experience there and MMS responded to my rubmaps review saying she returned my tip money, and that she has it on camera.
How can that be if all transactions happened inside the room?

Plus there wasn't any news on lavender nor happy when both got raided.
Lavender there was a news report but like 10 years ago.

Walnut Homes Busted
With the recent take down of one of the largest C-Org bookers in Socal, they also raided some homes in Walnut. They started surveillance on these locations way back in 2024. I previously believed that if anyone got caught visiting, it would just be a misdemeanor, but according to one of the articles, they were slapping felony charges on clients.

Paywalls

Thanks DB.

You have people with enough money where they don't appreciate commoners in their area and everyone is an HOA president of their city.

Thanks DB.[/QUOTE]That's strange. I've never had any issues with SGVtribune. You might need an ad blocker browser extension, such as Ghostery. Alternatively, you can just Google "Walnut brothel arrest" and a bunch of news articles will pop up.

[QUOTE=PhoKingAwesome;7565117]Walnut always seemed like the dumbest place to set up shop.

The one off of Lemon Ave with the 5,000+ sqft homes have some nice views. All it takes is one pissed off neighbor.

[QUOTE=Videobandit91;7565378]I feel the website was Sugarasian.[/QUOTE]Yep. This is just another reminder if you ever plan to contact any of these bookers, It's a good idea to use a secondary phone that's not connected to your name. You never know how deep the cops will dig.

Walnut
Having lived there, I can tell you that's absolutely true. There are a lot of affluent Asians that live there who may dabble in nefarious activities, but because it's a "Nice" neighborhood, the last thing they want to see is a Home brothel next door. Also, there is No street parking without a permit between 2 am-4 am. Apparently the homes were located near Grand and Amar, which is a very affluent part of Walnut.
