Four Milford Massage Parlors Close After Inspection
Establishments allegedly did not comply with new regulations passed last October.
Local and state officials ordered the closure of four Milford massage parlors Monday for allegedly failing to comply to new regulations related to the profession.
Police said they contacted several local massage establishments in June, notifying them of the new legislation that went into effect last October. Letters included a copy of the bill, Public Act No. 12-64: An Act Concerning Penalties for the Investigation of the Operation of Illegal Massage Establishments.
On Monday, police said detectives, along with the city’s health department and a representative from the Connecticut State Police, carried out a "joint compliance operation" at six local massage establishments.
