Nearly two dozen people were taken into custody within a week’s span as part of an undercover prostitution sting in Bexar County, Sheriff Javier Salazar said during a news conference Thursday.

Operation Details

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office’s Organized Crime Group conducted an operation to crack down on prostitution crime in a neighborhood. Although the location of the operation is unclear, Salazar said he chose this neighborhood because it’s “known for this sort of activity.”

Five people were arrested on Thursday for allegedly making deals with undercover deputies posing as prostitutes. The operation was a “proactive operation,” and none of the people arrested reached out to actual prostitutes.
