Police Shut Down Harford Road Massage Parlor

Baltimore County police shut down an unlicensed massage parlor on Harford Road in Parkville Tuesday evening and arrested a New York woman inside the business charging her with prostitution, according to police spokeswoman Elise Armacost. 

Li Wang, 38, of Flushing, NY,  was arrested and charged with a violation of massage therapy law and two counts of prostitution, Armacost said. Wang is free on $5,000 bond.

Police executed search warrants at two locations, the massage parlor and an undisclosed address related to the business.  Police also found and seized what Armacost called a "sizable amount of cash."

The unlicensed massage parlor was operating on the second floor of a building at 8910 Harford Road.

"We expect more arrests to come out of this investigation," Armacost said.

"We know there have been concerns in the neighborhood about this establishment, and we’ve been anxious to take action against it," Armacost added.

Another massage parlor in Overlea was raided and shut down by federal authorities as first reported by the Baltimore Sun in late July.

That raid resulted in the arrest of five people who were accused of operating a multi-state prostitution ring.
