Suffolk County Police arrested two women during a raid of an East Northport massage parlor following complaints from the community.
Officers from the Second Precinct Investigative Unit, working alongside the department’s Human Trafficking Unit and inspectors from the Town of Huntington’s Fire Marshal and Ordinance Enforcement divisions, executed an investigation into LJ Garden Spa Inc., located at 2090 Jericho Turnpike.
As a result, two employees—Xia Ji, 48, of Flushing, and Baolian Qin, 49, of Little Neck—were arrested and charged with Unauthorized Practice of a Profession, a felony, and Prostitution, a misdemeanor.
The raid came after residents raised concerns about suspicious activity at the business. The coordinated operation uncovered apparent violations that led to multiple charges, and further investigations into the establishment are ongoing.
In addition to the arrests, the Town of Huntington Fire Marshal and Code Enforcement Inspectors issued several municipal violations against the business and are continuing their review of the site.
Ji and Qin are scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip at a later date.
