Three women at a massage establishment were taken into police custody Wednesday as part of an ongoing investigation by several agencies, including U.S. Customs.

Investigators arrived at the establishment, 260 Massage Therapy, also called the Lotus Blossom Spa, located on Route 422 east, around 1 p.m. and found three women inside.

The women were not identified by police Wednesday and there was no word what, if any, charges had been filed against them.

Investigators at the scene, including members of the Berks County District Attorney’s Forensic Services Unit spent several hours inside the establishment Wednesday afternoon prior to bringing three women in handcuffs out to waiting patrol vehicles.

One official at the scene said the investigation into the business had been ongoing for about three months.

Amity Township Police Chief Kent Shuebrook said more information regarding the investigation would be released by the Berks County District Attorney’s office today.

The investigation, Shuebrook said, is being conducted by the District Attorney’s office in conjunction with his department and U.S. Customs.

He confirmed the three women who were taken into custody were all adults.

The Lotus Blossom Spa which police entered Wednesday afternoon is on the first floor at the rear of a renovated barn. The front portion of the building, which faces Route 422, had a sign hanging on the front windows indicating office space there is available to be leased.

Another building, located less than 50 yards from the renovated barn, houses Salon 256, Salon and Spa. However, the owner of Salon 256 Salon and Spa said her business was not affiliated with the massage establishment where police were investigating.
