A brothel in Southall which police say had been operating for three years has been shut down.

Officers said a gang of Romanian nationals using a property in The Green were evicted on Tuesday April 18.

The team from Southall Green Local Policing said the gang had been operating in the road for three years.

During the time the brothel was open, police said the gang sold sex at three separate properties in the road.

Police, as with a previous closure in Southall , put up a poster saying "brothel closed" with "no girls here" at the bottom.

The force believes the same gang is linked to a brothel closed down in Western Road in March, just a short distance away.

Officers said they spoke to customers who admitted paying between £30 and £60 for sex at the brothel in The Green.

The address was treated as a priority for two months with officers working alongside Ealing Council.

Impact statements from residents and businesses were collected during this time.

No arrests have been made.

After closing the brothel, police tweeted: "Second brothel closed by Southall Green LPT after a huge amount of work tackling ward panel priorities."

The address is now vacant.
