I hope some poor bastard wasn't in the middle of a nuru massage.

[Boom52]

I sent numerous texts asking for a 2pm booking.. wondered why no replies.

So a close call.

TBH - I picked up no evidence of trafficking - maybe a neighbour reported them?

I noticed a single police car outside when I was heading into Newcastle around 10am. When I was returning around five there were loads including one on each of the adjacent streets and a dark 'specialist search' van.

[Superad]

I’ve never once thought that anything dodgy was going on here. Same, regulars working there and they appeared to genuinely want to give a good service.

Quite worrying really.   

[dexpunt]

Any one of us could have been in the place at the time. Makes you think

[yubin]

I wonder if any other similar establishments are next ?

[bbanks]

Is this the place that the Chinese lasses used to work from? I think one was called Amy? I’ve never been myself but venue sounds familiar from reviews on here

[scutty brown]

Can someone actually identify the name of the place that's been raided?
Checking Google it appears there are two or three massage places on that road

[MasterBatesAgain]

From the chronicle pictures and the street names mentioned in the article that is 💯 Vivi place.

[Superad]

Deffo where Vivi was working.

Speaking from complete ignorance here but it's potentially the semantics more than 'anything dodgy' girls may very well have been willing but the moment you have third parties helping them to travel into the country, arranging travel around the country for them and boarding multiple heads under the same roof to do SP you cross that line. Doesn't matter if the girls deny they've been pressured or not.

[Treskilion]

Does anyone know who was the boss behind this operation?

[Shambles25]

I was once parked up waiting for my confirmation to go to the door and and was told to wait 10 minutes. I assumed this was because there was a Chinese girl sat on a suitcase outside the property. An older chinese woman turned up in a taxi, helped load the suitcase into the car and then they both got in and drove off. As the older woman was getting into the taxi she was texting on her phone and I suddenly received a message telling me to go. I thought this must have been the person in charge

[Rooster]

The police ignore vast swathes of crime which blight people's lives but devote massive resources to this.

People being trafficked? What do you think the police should do?

Absolutely terrible take on a horrendous crime.

[Superad]

I’m sure the boss of this place also ran one in Blakelaw.

People being trafficked? What do you think the police should do?

Having seen both Ella and Alice numerous times and left reviews I am pretty sure they are not trafficked. They are both happy, confident, women who are delightful company.

[Treskilion]

I echo and support Roosters view. I hope the investigation - if there is one - comes to nothing.

Chinese or Thai? And how long have they been here?

[Rooster]

Any update on this situation? I tried texting Ella last week and got no reply so I'm assuming she and Alice are now out of the picture. Were they part of Lily's operation?

I was wondering big Lilly was still around , used to see her regularly for a massage before covid , never went back after the down

[KermitLeFroggy]

They are back in business.

[jarrovian]

Same girls?

[OscarC]

Same place?

[KermitLeFroggy]

Same place. Just Vivi and the boss lady as far as I know.

[Treskilion]

They are back in business.

Are you sure of this?

[KermitLeFroggy]

Yes
