STUART
One woman was arrested as authorities shut down a Stuart massage parlor Thursday because of alleged prostitution activity.
Xiao Yin, 33, of Stuart, was arrested after city police searched the Asian Sports Massage in the 500 block of Southeast Dixie Highway. Detectives seized computers and documents from the business as part of the investigation, the city’s police spokesman, Officer Jeffrey Kittredge, said.
Police began an undercover investigation six months ago when they received complaints about prostitution at the massage parlor. On Thursday, inspectors from the Florida Health Department, Stuart Code Enforcement and Stuart Fire Rescue assisted police with serving the search warrant.
The business was closed pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
More arrests are possible, police said.
