The Tucson Police Department has arrested two business owners accused of money laundering and operating a house of prostitution, officials said.

Police were led to Tui-Na Massage owned by Charles Krause, 69, and Wenjuan Krause, 61, after receiving information in October 2015 that the business may be involved in illegal prostitution, according to a Tucson Police Department statement.

The Tucson Police Department worked alongside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office to serve the warrants after their investigation revealed that "several" women at the location were performing sex acts for money.

Detectives determined both Charles and Wenjuan Krause were aware of the activities and were receiving a portion of the money made, according to the police statement.

Alongside the Oro Valley Police Department, Tucson detectives served search warrants at Tui-Na Massage and two homes.

The investigation is ongoing and charges are pending, police said.

The Krauses were arrested on suspicion of money laundering, receiving earnings of a prostitute and running a house of prostitution and were booked into the Pima County Jail.
