Acting upon information recently received concerning prostitution occurring at various locations within the city, the Branson Police Department coordinated a sting operation with the COMET Drug Taskforce to investigate the reports of illegal activity. As a result of this operation, three females were taken into custody for prostitution on Tuesday evening. The females ranged in age from 19 to 28 years of age. One of the females was from Springfield, Missouri; one was from Strafford, Missouri, and one had an address in Branson. The females are currently in custody. Paperwork concerning the arrests will be forwarded to the Taney County Prosecuting Attorney for the filing of charges.
