Kern County Public Health Services and Kern County Sheriff’s Office held a press conference Wednesday to announce the arrests of three people following a massage parlor sting operation in Oildale.
According to officials, an undercover agent went into Oriental Foot Massage and Bonnie Massage, both located on N. Chester Ave, Tuesday evening and was propositioned by employees at both locations.
Two people were arrested at Oriental Foot Massage and one person was arrested at Bonnie Massage.
In addition, both business owners were notified that they are required to shut down their establishments immediately.
Owners of both massage parlors have been banned from ever opening massage facilities in Kern County.
Officials added that no one is allowed to open massage parlors at either location.
Kern County Public Health has partnered with the Kern County Sheriff’s Office to investigate all complaints and reports of suspected or known prostitution and human trafficking activities in massage establishments.
Sheriff Donnie Youngblood warned other businesses that may be running similar illegal activities that the Sheriff's Department will continue to conduct these type of investigations.
