4 men arrested inprostitution sting
Dallas police arrested four men in a prostitution sting Thursday.
Two female officers went undercover, acting as prostitutes as uniformed police officers waited to arrest the men who solicited them. The operation at the intersection of Polk Street and Kiest Boulevard is part of a three-month summer campaign, Operation Triangle, to reduce violent crime, property crime and public disorder in the city.
“We’ve been doing Operation Triangle for a month now, and we think it’s very successful,” said Dallas police spokesman Kevin Janse.
The department says it has seen a slight decrease in violent and property crime since the operation started. Forty-seven more arrests linked to public disorder, which includes prostitution, have been made compared with this time last year.
