The Alameda Police Department (APD) and several other Alameda County law enforcement agencies conducted a prostitution sting that led to 11 arrests in Alameda last Thursday, April 28.
The officers used websites, such as Backpage.com, to engage with prostitute handlers. They lured them to a hotel thinking they were conducting a business transaction.
“We had one officer pose as an undercover John,” said APD Lt. Hoshmand Durani. “Once money was handed over to the handlers we went in to make arrests.”
