A Bangladeshi woman was arrested from a residence in Malé around 8:00pm last night on charges of prostitution.
Three Bangladeshi men were also arrested after police officers raided Machangoalhi Zeefiyaz based on intelligence information.
The suspects were engaged in prostitution when officers entered the residence, the police said in a statement. Some of the men are suspected of being the woman’s agents.
The police also searched a room in the house and found cash in local and foreign currencies as well as unspecified “items used for sexual activities.”
Last night’s raid follows the arrest of eight suspects, including three foreign women, four foreign men, and one Maldivian man, from a brothel in Malé last week.
