SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Community concerns over a "concentration" of massage parlors in Salt Lake's Ballpark neighborhood led to police undercover operations last month that identified undisclosed "violations" at five of six massage enterprises.

"We're seeing more massage businesses in the neighborhood, not less," said Amy Hawkins, Ballpark Community Council Chair, noting she does not have evidence of crimes.

2News first reported on Hawkins' concerns Thursday evening, sent questions to police about the parlors, and the department responded.
