A brothel operating in the heart of Muscat was shut down by the Royal Oman Police (ROP) who also announced the arrest of six expatriates in the raid.
A crime news bulletin issued by the police said the accused – five women and one man all from different Asian countries – were detained during a swoop on an apartment block in the Al Khuwair district of the city.
“Acting on a tip-off, we placed the apartment in question under close surveillance for a while before going in and busting the accused. All six persons have been charged with running a prostitution den and the case handed over to the Public Prosecution,” the ROP said in a statement.
