Lumberton — The Lumberton Police Department has shut down a massage parlor after ordering it to close last month for violating city rules, according to Chief Danny Sullins and first reported exclusively by our media partner, Adam Brooks and The Brooks Report Live.

The manager of A Plus Spa on Main Street, Guandwei Zhang, 54, and an employee, Bo Weng, 51, were arrested and booked into the Hardin County Jail for not having a certificate of occupancy and not having a license to operate a massage parlor, both Lumberton city ordinance violations.

“Last month we ordered the business to be closed down and issued warnings until they could have the proper certificates of occupancy and a license to operate a massage parlor,” Chief Danny Sullins told The Brooks Report Live.

He says law enforcement received several tips last weekend about people coming in and out of the spa when it was supposed to be closed.

“We sent an undercover agent in and confirmed that they were open and operating," said Chief Sullins. "There were two clients receiving services in the business. At the time we made our way in, the clients informed us that a female worker ran out of the back door upon our arrival. Officers located the female and we placed both the female worker and the manager of the establishment under arrest.”
