Police bust illegal brothels

POLICE have exposed two illegal brothels in Holder and Lyons.

Acting on a tip off received via the Crime Stoppers website police executed simultaneous search warrants yesterday at both residences with the assistance of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.

During the warrants, police seized an estimated $25 000 in stolen property.

Three persons were taken into custody by Immigration Officials for breaching visa conditions.  They were subsequently conveyed to the Villawood Detention Centre.

The occupant of the Lyons residence will be summonsed to appear in Court on charges related to running an illegal brothel and stolen property.
