A massage parlour in Sutton Coldfield has permanently closed after an investigation by West Midlands Police<\/a>.<\/p>\n Officers from the Birmingham<\/a> Serious Organised Crime and Exploitation Team (SOCEX) applied for the order earlier in the year as part of an investigation into indoor sex locations.<\/p>\n Shangri La, on Bishops Way, Four Oaks, was being advertised as a massage parlour, but enquiries led officers to believe it was being used as a brothel, where women were being exploited.<\/p>\n READ MORE: <\/strong>Thug beats up three people after walking into Birmingham primary school<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Woman jailed for human trafficking offences in Birmingham<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> M6 latest after serious crash closed motorway overnight<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n In September, officers issued an emergency closure notice of the premises for 48 hours, and were then successful at court in being granted a three-month closure order,<\/p>\n This meant anyone entering the premises risked being fined or arrested.<\/p>\n That order has now expired but the building has been completely cleared out, and the business is no longer operating there.<\/p>\n Sgt Paul Lakey, from SOCEX, said: “We’re pleased to see Shangri La has closed for good, as once we’d identified it as a suspected brothel, we were determined to take action.<\/p>\n “Closing premises like these is an important part of our work, and protecting the people being exploiting within them is our priority.<\/p>\n \u201cWe remain absolutely committed to safeguarding those who are vulnerable, and ultimately making communities better places for people to live, work, and visit.\u201d<\/p>\n The investigation into people involved at the massage parlour is ongoing.<\/p>\n
