KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: Police detained 61 Chinese nationals in a vice raid at a food court in Jalan Pasar here yesterday.
City deputy OCCI (intelligence and operations) Asst Comm Ramli Mat Arshad said police detained the women believed to be involved in vice activities.
He said police also detained 16 men aged between 25 and 45 of whom 14 were believed to be their customers, while another two were detained as they tried to stop the raiding team from carrying out their duties.
ACP Ramli said that six of the women did not have passports while the others entered the country with social visit visas .
He said that initial investigations showed that the women acted as patrons at the food court and picked up and negotiated with their male customers there before adjourning to nearby hotels to carry out their illegal activities.
He said the food court was famous for having foreign women soliciting for sex.
The police raided it 21 times last year and detained 90 women from China and one from Indonesia.
