Pimps and prostitutes often from Eastern Europe are evading the authorities by booking seemingly-innocent getaways for a week in Newquay, Cornwall. They then flee before capture - but not before turning the accommodation into temporary brothels. Police say the problem has been growing in the resort - a popular party town known for its stag and hen dos. The issue was first exposed at the resort in July when neighbours saw suspicious-looking men coming and going at all hours from a red-bricked suburban house.
Inspector Dave Meredith said: "I don't think this issue is isolated to Newquay alone, it is almost certainly force wide and country wide.
He went on: "We do understand that a lot of the women that operate from the pop up brothels are vulnerable, and instead of arresting them, which is perhaps what police would have done decades ago, we try to signpost them to agencies that can help them, and try to help them ourselves to see if they are victims of sex crime or acting under duress.
