Arrests made as gardaí raid brothels

LIMERICK gardaí have uncovered three brothels in the city centre. Three prostitutes, all Brazilian were arrested.

In a separate case last week three Brazilians were brought before Limerick District Court following the discovery of another brothel in the south side of the city.

Detectives from the Crime and Immigration offices at Henry Street carried out raids over the weekend which uncovered the three brothels at Mount Kennet. The three Brazilian women arrested were released after being questioned and their passports have been held while gardaí investigate if they are legally here.
