Police said the boss of the operation, surnamed Zhou, was so cautious that he would ask clients to provide the names of their hotels and their room numbers. He would then call them back in their hotel rooms to make sure the requests were real.
The ring employed drivers who would take the prostitutes to each job, police said. A member of the ring would accompany the prostitutes inside the hotel to provide security.
They would usually sit in the lobby to keep an eye out for police while the girl was with the client.
Police busted the ring on October 18, arresting 11 prostitutes and clients along with the criminal suspects.
"They recruited prostitutes from local hair salons and massage spas," Ye told the Global Times.
Many brothels in the city operate under the guise of hair salons or spas.
