URABAYA: The Gang Dolly red-light district of Surabaya, East Java, is apparently not completely free of prostitution. Two days ago, a joint team of police and public order police raided the former New Borneo brothel.

Members of the joint team found three sex workers serving clients there. They also arrested three pimps on Jl. Kupang, Gunung Timur, Surabaya.

'€œWe have handed over the six persons to the Surabaya City Police for examination,'€ Surabaya municipality public order police unit enforcement section head Dari was quoted by tempo.co as saying on Friday.

The Gang Dolly red-light district had actually been officially closed by the Surabaya municipality and transformed into a business district. However, Dari said he believed that prostitution had not yet been completely eradicated there.

The pimps usually offer up the sex workers to clients at Gang Dolly secretly. If a price is reached, the sex workers, who live near Dolly, will be contacted to meet the client in a brothel.

'€œThe sex workers and clients enter through the back door, while the front door is locked, as if it is vacant,'€ said Dari.
