Women operating suburban massage parlour charged over coronavirus breach

Three massage therapists and a business operator were arrested after officers attended this premises.

Four women have been arrested for allegedly operating an active suburban massage parlour in Adelaide, in breach of coronavirus business closure requirements.

SA Police said three massage therapists and the operator of the business were arrested after Licensing Enforcement Officers attended the Croydon Park premises, just north of Adelaide's CBD, at 4pm on Monday.

Members of the public had complained to police that the business continued operating despite the restrictions.

A 69-year-old woman and a 50-year-old woman from Croydon Park, along with a 45-year-old woman from Ferryden Park and a 42-year-old woman from Blakeview, were arrested.

They were charged with breaching the closure of non-essential businesses during South Australia's coronavirus emergency declaration.

One of the women had previously been fined and directed to cease work in April.

Each was bailed and will appear in Port Adelaide Magistrates Court in July.
