A woman was arrested following an undercover prostitution investigation into a Sunrise beauty salon and spa.

According to a Sunrise Police Department arrest report, Xiuzhu Zhang, 50, of Staten Island, New York, was taken into custody on April 28 at Yuko Spa – registered under the corporation name Shanti Rainbow Inc. – located at 8642 Northwest 44th Street, after detectives conducted a targeted operation into suspected illegal activity at the establishment.

According to investigators, members of the Sunrise Strategic Investigations Section entered the business as part of an undercover operation. A detective posing as a customer was led into a private room, where Zhang allegedly offered a full-body massage for $50.

During the session, authorities say Zhang made gestures – with both her hands and her mouth – indicating sexual services and quoted additional prices, including $80 and $150 for specific acts.

The detective declined the offers and exited the business, after which additional officers and a Department of Health investigator entered the location. Zhang was later detained outside the business while taking out the garbage.

Investigators said in addition to her other crimes, Zhang did not possess a valid massage therapist license and was operating under the appearance of a cosmetology-style business offering services such as facials and body treatments.

Inside the business, detectives reported finding multiple massage tables and items commonly associated with sexual activity in plain view.

Zhang denied providing massage or sexual services when questioned by detectives, according to the report.

She was charged with misrepresenting herself as a licensed masseuse, practicing without a license, and offering to commit prostitution. She was arrested and transported to the Broward County Main Jail, then released after posting a $3,150 bond.
