Drug, prostitution bust at Denver hotel

DENVER – Police have five people in custody after an almost two month investigation at a Denver hotel.

Denver Police say they have been receiving complaints about drug use and prostitution at the 11th Avenue Hotel, located at 1112 Broadway, for several weeks.

On Tuesday, police went to the hotel with arrest warrants for 50 people. Five people were arrested and taken into police custody. Police also uncovered crack cocaine.

"Any time the neighbors call in and say they observe criminal activity, it must be pretty blatant – out in the open. Any type of drug dealing and prostitution is dangerous business," Police Chief Gerry Whitman said.

Police hope to make more arrests in the investigation.
