Over 100 brothels raided across island

Scores of houses and apartments were sensationally raided throughout yesterday as gardaí sought to smash brothel-keeping businesses the length and breadth of the island.

Large amounts of documents, cash, computers, and phones were seized by more than 200 gardaí and 150 PSNI officers working as part of a long-running investigation code-named Operation Quest.

In the Republic, searches were made on more than 110 houses and apartments, with a particular emphasis on the lunchtime traffic for these illegal businesses.
