The investigation began with a police report from a neighbor who was concerned that a nearby short-term rental was being used for prostitution.
Police arrested two women at the time, one for aggravated promotion of prostitution, but charges were later dropped against the women.
Dallas Police Department Sergeant Warren Mitchell said the arrests show that it may take time, but Dallas police take tips from residents seriously. The investigation showed criminals using two websites and short-term rental properties in Dallas and Plano to traffic women for sex. FOX 4 spoke with multiple people in the Northwest Dallas neighborhood who did not want to go on camera, but they heard what was going on and were shocked it was happening right down the street from them.
