The Pleasanton Police Department is currently investigating what officers believe to have been a brothel that was operating out of an apartment in The Galloway at Hacienda.
On Oct. 8, the department was notified of suspicious activity going on at an apartment located at 4428 Hacienda Drive, PPD Lt. Nicholas Albert told the Weekly.
“An anonymous subject reported a suspected residential brothel operating from this location, citing heavy pedestrian traffic and an online advertisement for sexual services,” he said.
During the initial investigation, Albert said officers observed a person exiting the apartment and upon making contact, the person admitted they went to the apartment for “escort / sexual services”.
After looking further into the allegations, Albert said PPD served a search warrant at the apartment the following day on Oct. 9 and police were able to secure additional evidence that supported the allegations.
“While the apartment was minimally furnished and had exterior security cameras, additional evidence that supported cause to believe the unit was being utilized as a residential brothel was located during the subsequent search warrant service,” Albert said.
Albert said no arrests have been made following a raid of the apartment but that the investigation is still ongoing. He said he was unable to provide any additional information on the lease holder because of the active investigation.
