Aiken authorities scrutinizing a massage parlor for the past several months have arrested two 39-year-old women on prostitution charges.

Zhaoai Chen and Jinlan Sun, former employees of the Golden Fingers Massage Parlor on Silver Bluff Road, were taken to the Aiken County Detention Center, the Aiken Department of Public Safety reported Wednesday afternoon.

"The investigation began following numerous public tips alleging that the business was offering sexual services in exchange for payment," according to the DPS.
