Undercover Officers Targeting Pimps In North Inner City
A dedicated garda unit is targeting pimps working in the north inner city.
Undercover surveillance of brothels has been ongoing for several months to try to built cases against those who run prostitution networks.
The unit is made up of 3 officers based at Store Street.
All of the information gathered is passed on to the recently established Human Exploitation unit.
Very few arrests have been made to date.
Gardai are looking at the prostitution issue from the point of view of human trafficking and the protection and safety of women working in the sex industry.
