Media Release - Child Prostitution Arrests

On March 28, 2015, the Mesa Police Department conducted operation "Blue Heat." The operation was conducted by undercover detectives posing as underage females.

This operation was similar to previous operations in an ongoing effort to stop child prostitution.

The suspects arrested ranged in age from 27 to 44 years old. When the suspects arrived at the location they were taken into custody. Three were charged with Child Prostitution, a class 2 felony.
