Undercover policewomen posing as karaoke customers arrested six mainland men in Jordan early yesterday on suspicion of offering sexual services.
Two policewomen, posing as wealthy customers, went to a restaurant in Shanghai Street that allegedly turns into a nightclub for women after 11pm. The agents paid their bill - more than HK$3,000 - before declaring their identities and making the arrests about 3.30am.
Six mainland men, aged between 23 and 33, were apprehended for breaching their condition of stay. One was accused of offering a sex service to one of the policewomen, according to police.
During the operation, there were about 10 female customers and 15 local male prostitutes, but none was held for questioning.
The eatery, near Tsim Sha Tsui police station, provided Thai dishes between 11am and 11pm but turned into a nightclub for women between 11pm and 5am, police said.
'Clients were approached asking whether they needed company to play drinking games and drink and sing together,' said Senior Inspector Upathamchart S.A. of Tsim Sha Tsui police station.
