According to CBSPhilly.com, female undercover police officers hung out on the street corner a few minutes before the first arrests went down. Suspects looking for prostitutes were nabbed after they approached the undercover officers, the report says.
The operation took place between 10 a.m. and noon at Kensington Avenue and East Venango Street, the Metro newspaper reports.
City police were able to confiscate the alleged john’s cars and money, a story Philly.com said. Police Lt. Derrick E. Wood told the website that suspects would have to go before a judge to get their belongings back.

Allen’s recent criminal record is mostly clean, except for two traffic tickets.
