Detectives from the King County Sheriff’s Office and the Burien and SeaTac Police Departments served search warrants on five locations Thursday night in Burien, SeaTac and Kent related to a lengthy prostitution investigation.
The warrants were served at three businesses and two residences at about 7 p.m., according to a Sheriff’s Office media release.
Detectives arrested three women and one man. The women were booked for investigation of prostitution, money laundering, conspiracy and leading organized crime. The man, who is a convicted felon and was in possession of a firearm, was booked for investigation of violation of the uniformed firearms act.
Police also seized three vehicles and a small amount of cash during the raid.
The locations included:
