SUBANG JAYA:

Thirty-four foreign women were picked up during a vice-operation at a budget hotel in Bandar Puchong Utama early yesterday.

Federal police anti-vice, gaming and secret society division (D7) principal assistant director SAC II Rodwan Mohd Yusof said the women were found hiding in several rooms on the top floor of the four-storey shoplot.

“The raiding party took several hours to round up the women, aged between 19 and 25. There are secret passages leading to the rooms where the women were hiding.”

The women comprised 16 Chinese nationals, 12 Vietnamese, four Thai and an Indonesian and a Cambodian.

Checks showed they entered the country last November on work permits.

Two hotel employees, both in their 20s, were also detained after police found 15 boxes of firecrackers inside the premises. Police are looking for the hotel owner.
