Massage Parlor In Kiaracondong Area Sealed, 10 Therapists And 8 Visitors Transported To Bandung Police Station

BANDUNG - Bandung Polrestabes sealed a massage parlor in the Kiaracondong area, Bandung City, West Java because it was still operating during the emergency community activity restriction (PPKM).

Kasatreskrim Polrestabes Bandung AKBP Adanan Mangopang said the sealing was after his party directly raided the massage parlor due to reports from the surrounding community.

"We found that there were 10 therapists at work. We also found eight visitors who were active at the time of the raid," said Adanan as quoted by Antara, Tuesday, July 6.

According to him, during the emergency PPKM period, the massage parlor with the initials BS will continue to operate. In fact, under PPKM regulations, the service sector such as massage parlors may not operate.

The atmosphere where the massage parlor is located is in one of the shopping complex buildings in Kiaracondong. The place also does not have any sign in front of the building because it is suspected to deceive the officers.

In addition to the sealing, the managers, employees, and visitors of the place were also brought to the Bandung Police Satreskrim Office for further investigation.

For these activities, the perpetrators were charged with Article 506 of the Criminal Code. If it is proven that there is exploitation of minors, they will be subject to Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law No. 23/2002 on Child Protection.

"We will also report it to the Bandung City Government, who knows, who knows later the sanctions could be up to the revocation of business licenses," he said.
