COM - Friday night, a crackdown was done by Dallas police in neighborhood overrun by prostitution, and only CBS 11 was allowed to document the enforcement operation.
CBS 11 got to see first hand Friday night how much the sex trade has returned since the pandemic. George Cossio, who works at a nearby auto repair shop, just wants a safe and comfortable repair shop for customers to bring their cars and trucks. He's talking about the prostitutes that have become a constant sight across the street from his business on Walnut Hill Lane in Northwest Dallas. Dallas police vice and patrol officers conducted an operation Friday night to address a decades old problem in the area around Harry Hines Boulevard.
It's a crime that police say they see more of during special events, like Texas-OU weekend. The vice unit believes it can finally clean up the neighborhood with operations like this one, that those who live and work in the area want. Everyone arrested will be offered a diversion program that comes with resources to get away from sex trafficking and keep it off their criminal record.
