Kent Police Chief Steve Strachan reports that 15 “johns” were arrested on Kent’s West Hill on Thursday, March 12, 2009 in a prostitution sting operation. This was one in a series of arrests in connection with reducing crime and prostitution in that area of Kent.

“Our neighborhood along Pacific Highway South deserves better, and that’s part of the initiative and that’s part of the message to change the paradigm,” says Kent Police Chief Steve Strachan.
