Nearly three dozen officers, led by the LAPD’s Central Division vice unit, participated in the operation at Club 907 at 9th and Hill streets Friday night. They reportedly found 400 people in a space with a permitted capacity of 250.

The LAPD regulates such clubs, and the bust grew out of a routine check of business conditions two months ago, Lt. Paul Vernon said.

At the time, the officers found dozens of female dancers employed by the club with false identification for purposes of employment and found evidence that most were engaging in prostitution, Vernon said.

“They found so many violations in this routine check, they realized the problem must go much deeper,â€

Sounds just like the clubs in Juarez.
