Hornsby Massage Parlour Raided

Get the punter hooked on meth so he needs to come back and spend time with the girl so he can buy some more win win, great business model lmao

Pretty bloody dumb by the management of this shop.

Last thing this industry needs is publicity like this. Bound to be a few journos planning sensationalist, lack of facts stories about drug dealings through brothels and massage joints.

Just going to make it harder for other shops that are quietly going about their business in a professional way. Last thing they need is the media, police and politicians to start scrutinising them.

Even if they are totally legitimate, some punters are going to get nervous and maybe stay away for a while.

Exactly what I said. A brothel with a permissive stance on drugs will eventually get in trouble. Instead brothels and massage parlours need to draw a line with allowing drugs on the premises. Particularly this idea that ML/WL take drugs on site and share with customers.
Keep away from the media pages, because soon after comes the attention of Crime squads and regulators who can make the whole industry much more regulated and sterile
Pretty much you have this one warning. If another brothel is overrun with drugs and organised crime, the whole industry will be shaken to the ground
Journalists read this forum and nothing sells newspapers like sex and drug scandals

I have obviously lived a very sheltered punting life.
The heaviest thing I have ever been offered is a cigarette - and I don't even smoke.

also article says further arrests are expected. In case people can’t see it behind the paywall, it named the owner, the 45 year old Highlands Avenue Wahroonga woman and an employee the 28 year old.

As it is out already,

The brothel's owner, Wahroonga woman Min Van Campenhout, 45, was taken to Hornsby Police Station and charged with participating in a criminal group for the past year, being the occupier of a property knowingly used as drug premises, being found on drug premises and possessing Viagra.

Her employee Jun Jia, 28, was also arrested and charged with four counts of supplying ice, supplying a commercial quantity of ice, participating in a criminal group, possessing a prohibited drug and being found on drug premises.

The two were refused bail and appeared briefly at Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday.

Lets hope the owner didn't force the girls to sell drugs, but she sounds like a greedy person so i bet she did

Biggest surprise of this whole scandal is that one of the WL was actually in her 20’s

You are forgetting that there are more employees than the actual WLs e.g. reception. I suspect this is one of the receptionist but I may be wrong.

Actually the article from the Telegraph says the 28 year old is from Strathfield and is actually a man !

Well. They were meant to reopen today after doing their ‘maintenance’. But today they say they are still closed as they have ‘more maintenance’ to do.

Given the press around this. Radio coverage, articles in at least the SMH and Telegraph, who do they think they are kidding.

Today is the day the four arrested are in Hornsby court. I wonder if any press will be there to cover what seems a fairly major case.

I wonder how much a 'commercial quantity really is. Normally when the cops make a big bust, they put an inflated dollar value or street value on the 'haul'. I haven't heard any numbers so far. Doesn't sound like an overly large amount of drugs were found, just enough to be considered that there was more than a personal amount. Cops would be much more interested on where the girls are getting it from, it's not as if there is a meth lab in room 8 @ 142!!

True enough. Hence the ‘more arrest are expected’ comment in the SMH. However they must have found enough drugs to be very serious as both the owner and the 28 year old man were both refused bail on Friday. They are arguing for bail at court today. Now I don’t have any idea of the threshold the police use but I am assuming to be refused bail and again I am assuming it is a first offence for both, that there must have been quite a bit.

And don’t forget this has been a 6 month investigation. So they are probably looking at the amount gone through the shop in that time which most definitely would be a very significant amount indeed.

Given it was a 6 month investigation, I also think the police may already have surveillance of any dealers who may have delivered anything to the premises. Although with the nature of the business with people in and out all the time, might be difficult to work out who is a punter versus a dealer but given 6 months I guess they could work it out.

I am also wondering what the police ordered in terms of the actual business itself. Are they or council able to order the place closed and if so for what period. Including Friday and today, they have been closed for 6 days. Will they ever re open? Maybe with new owners?

The tentacles of drugs and organised crime are long. The massage shop is probably not the source of the drugs, just the commercial outlet.

We recently had the media beating up the private investigator in massage parlour issue. The drugs issue is a magnitude way higher on the Richter scale, and public awareness is now magnified
We dont need this high profile. Isnt that obvious? Want to start up a new massage parlour? Its going to get harder now.

And the reputation of the entire industry will gradually be shredded

Its a message to all brothels and massage shops, if you let the drug problem inside your premises, the drug octopus will take you and your business away from you. And you will be in jail. The drug syndicates will just move onto the next unsuspecting group of businesses, ML/WL

And punters, if you are offered drugs in a brothel, what you then do is your business, but please tell the boss on the way out, "You guys have drugs on the premises. This wont end well"

Articles in the Telegraph today, the 45 yr old mamasan owns 4 brothels !! While the police raided the shop, simultaneously they also raided her home !

That's a $2.5M mansion just 5 min away from the Hornsby shop. I guess the mansion was paid for by the drug money rather than profits from running those FS brothels ! What do you guys think ??

Theres clearly lots of profit running a brothel if you can get good staff from overseas

Who knows what funded the mansions. Maybe she got a good divorce payout from the husband who is never around

Wonder if the government (all of us) now own the home using Proceeds of Crime legislation. She could be homeless soon
Im sure the Drug squad are checking the attic right now for piles of cash. Thats usually where peoceeds of crime end up

Wonder which are her other brothels?

[Foxxster]

New Telegraph article. I don’t have access to it as it’s behind a paywall but I have the start. The names of the other two arrested were published and a photo of one with her lawyer but most of her face appears covered.

· Cromer woman, Wai Kwan Mo, did not appear on Wednesday, however, court documents revealed police charged her with allegedly supplying 30.75g of Methamphetamine and being found ...

The other one with photo was Aiping Xiao.

Again I don’t have access to the full article. Maybe someone who does can post it.

Meanwhile major Ice bust today at Kemp’s Creek I believe.. wonder if connected. Looks like Chinese arrested.

Calling a full scale brothel a "massage centre" does not help the image of genuine, or fringe, massage shops.
