A Seattle vice operation on Friday night near Denny Park netted 19 johns and prostitutes, police say.

According to SPD spokesman Mark Jamieson, the West Precinct had received "numerous citizen complaints" about prostitution in the area, so Vice and Anti-Crime Team units set up a sting near Denny Park.

The Friends of Denny Park website says the park is a well-known hangout for drug dealers and prostitutes, who "are active in the park both day and night."

According to the King County Jail register, police arrested 10 men and 8 women in the operation. Jamieson says police also arrested one teenage girl.

One of the women arrested was also busted in a similar sting in Bend, Oregon last year.
