Police investigating a shooting say they've identified more than 200 acts of prostitution at a South Carolina strip club.
According to Myrtle Beach police, officers served a search warrant at the Derriere's Gentleman's Club after their investigation into a shooting at the establishment led them to believe there was other criminal activity taking place.
"The acts involved multiple employees who participated in, or facilitated, the acts," according to police.
Police said multiple people involved with the business have been served arrest warrants. Additional charges stem from a shooting Jan. 1, 2020, when employees failed to contact police and attempted to clean up the crime scene before officers arrived.
“These hotbeds of criminal activity erode the safety of our residents and visitors,” said Chief Amy Prock. “The business was operating as a brothel as defined by South Carolina Law. We will not tolerate businesses who encourage or allow this kind of behavior.”
