The Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) Vice and Narcotics Squad reports the arrest of a Hispanic woman, resident of the state of New Jersey, in connection with a prostitution incident that occurred on May 21, at 3:20 pm, in Freeport, Long Island, NY.

According to detectives, an undercover investigation was conducted at The Freeport Inn and Marina, located at 445 S. Main Street, and it was determined that prostitution activities were taking place there.

Detectives from the “Narcotics Vice Squad” proceeded to arrest, without incident, the woman identified as Santa Y. Lopez, 35 years old and who lives on 71st Street, in Guttenberg, NJ.

Police authorities say Lopez faces prostitution charges and was released after receiving a court summons.
