FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - Police have closed down a Cape Coral barber shop run by two brothers who allegedly prostituted young girls there.
Neighbors said they suspected B's Barber Shop, because customers often came and went without a haircut.
Investigators raided the business Thursday, arresting 24-year-old Walter Barragan and 25-year-old Alfonso Barragan III. The two allegedly had sex with minors and offered them to clients in a back room.
Police found out about the operation when a suspect in an unrelated drug case showed them a cell phone video of 1 of the men having sex with the girls.
Walter Barragan trained to be a policeman in Cape Coral, but resigned in January during field training.
