Deputies shut down 5 massage parlors in Forsyth Co. sweep
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. -- Forsyth County officials confirmed, Friday, that a massive operation targeting massage parlors around the county ended with five closed permanently and several others cited.
The operation follows the passage of a new county-wide ordinance on the establishments that went into effect on Jan. 1.
Deputies previously went to these locations to announce a grace period to get into compliance with the new ordinance.
On Friday, the deputies returned to 15 parlors that had not been made changes to suit the new local laws.
Of those, 18 citations were issued to 10 parlors and five were closed outright and will not be allowed to re-open.
More were required to close for the day until they comply with the new requirements.
