‘Brothel’ in Myrtle Beach: Cops raid Seaboard Street strip club
A Myrtle Beach strip club served as a “brothel” and facilitated prostitution, police say.
Myrtle Beach police descended on Derriere’s Gentlemen’s Club, 804 Seaboard St., around noon Friday with a search warrant as part of the investigation.
Initially, Cpl. Thomas Vest said he couldn’t release many details, but within minutes the department sent a news release. As police investigated a New Year’s Day shooting, they learned of additional criminal activity at the strip club, according to the release.
Officials said there have been more than 200 acts of apparent prostitution at the club. The acts involved employees who participated in, or facilitated, the activity, police said.
Police say they have arrest warrants for several people involved in the business, though their names have not been released. Additional charges are possible.
There are also arrest warrants related to the New Year’s Day shooting, where staff did not call the police and started to clean up the crime scene.
