The Village of Mamaroneck Police Department, in coordination with the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office, New York State Police, and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police Department, conducted a joint task force operation on January 29th, 2026, focusing on illegal massage parlors and prostitution related activity within the Village of Mamaroneck.
The investigation was initiated after receiving a complaint and culminated in enforcement actions at 3 locations: 437 Ward Ave., 416 Mamaroneck Ave., and 172 E Boston Post Rd. Investigators conducted on-site investigations that resulted in multiple arrests for prostitution related offences and unauthorized practice of a profession.

Both individuals were taken into custody without incident, and the establishment was subsequently closed by the Village of Mamaroneck Building Department.
At 416 Mamaroneck Ave., a woman offered sexual intercourse for money to an investigator and was arrested and charged with prostitution. The business was also closed by the building department.
At the final location, 172 E Boston Post Rd., sexual services were offered to an investigator after a massage. Two individuals were arrested at that location and transported to police headquarters for processing. That business was shut down by the building department.
All arrested individuals were charged with the felony offense of unauthorized practice of a profession. Three of the five were charged with prostitution, and one of the five was charged with promoting prostitution, both misdemeanors.
All parties were issued desk appearance tickets and are scheduled to appear in the Village of Mamaroneck Court on February 12th, 2026. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law..
