Rochester Police bust prostitution ring operating at new downtown health studio
ROCHESTER, Mich. (FOX 2) - Rochester police said they thwarted a prostitution ring that was operating out of a recently-opened health studio near the city's downtown.
Three people were arrested and a mountain of evidence was seized from the Green Rose Health Studio, including cash, cell phones, and computers.
The police department announced the bust on social media late Thursday morning. The health studio was operating in downtown Rochester, a state filing for the business shows.
It was incorporated in October of 2023, records with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs show.
