OYSTER POND--Officers of the Immigration Department raided two adult entertainment establishments in the Oyster Pond area Thursday morning.
During the raids on Casa Blanca and Border Bar brothels, members of the Immigration Department checked the passports and working papers of all the female workers at these establishments.
Approximately 10 exotic dancers were arrested at Casa Blanca. They were handcuffed and taken to the Philipsburg police station for further investigation.
According to the club owner, his employees were all released later that day because their documents proved to be in order.
No arrests were made at Border Bar, but all passports of exotic dancers were confiscated and taken to the police station. The club’s owner was invited to report to the station to clarify matters.
The owners of Casa Blanca and Border Bar did not comment immediately on the raids on their businesses, but said they would give a statement on Friday.
