Last night, all major crimes of the area having apparently been prevented or solved, Haverhill police officers set their sights on their admittedly decreasing prostitution concern. It was said to be a lucky break in their war against drugs. The ledger, according to the police, will kick off an investigation that could lead to a series of arrests. Christos Eleftheriou, 45, of Haverhill, was arrested at p. John Arahovites.
Arahovites said. Arahovites, the new information will widen their investigation beyond Eleftheriou, and that other arrests are possible. Arahovites said Eleftheriou is well known in Haverhill, and that he and his family own and operate the Haverhill House of Pizza sandwich shop in Riversedge Plaza next to Haverhill Stadium.
Arahovites said of why police do the stings several times a year. He said the department conducts stings about four times a year and they have been successful in keeping down the number of prostitutes working the streets of Haverhill and the number of men who are looking to pay for sex.
The area is at the edge of the Acre neighborhood and just north of downtown. The stings usually begin with police getting real prostitutes off the street. Then, the competition having been removed, having women officers in plain clothes walk the area. When men drive up and proposition the women officers for sex, they are arrested, he said. As one would imagine, his problems have now increased well beyond anyone in adult entertainment can help him with.
First of all, the man now becomes a human footnote in my long-standing argument in these daily blogs suggesting that it is best not to take a bad situation and make it much, much worse. Obviously, there are certain risks involved in approaching street level prostitutes. For example, you may run into the police in a less than pleasant manner.
