The Record
PARAMUS — The cars, driven by men of varying ages and ethnicities, would come mostly in the evening. Some would circle the neighborhood. Others would pull into the wrong driveway as they searched for 12 North Farview Ave.
The behavior was strange enough in this residential neighborhood in the heart of the borough to spur residents to contact police.
That vigilance was credited by police on Thursday for helping bring down a suspected brothel that authorities say could have been operating for two months.
“That’s the way the system is supposed to work,” Deputy Chief Robert Guidetti said. “If you see something suspicious, don’t be embarrassed. Call the police.”
As a result of the proactive residents, police began surveillance at the small, pale blue house on Aug. 8. They saw numerous cars parked in front of the house with men between 20-years-old and 50-years-old coming in and out, Guidetti said.
On Wednesday evening, Paramus police and members of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office posed as johns, entered the home and were offered sexual acts at a rate of $160 an hour, Guidetti said.
