On this day five years ago, complaints from residents and businesses prompted Howard County to crack down on prostitution along the Route 1 corridor. Between June 7 and July 21, 2006, the department arrested 25 people for prostitution or soliciting prostitution in Laurel, Jessup and Elkridge, according to a press release. In 2010, county police conducted six sting operations to target prostitution, which resulted in at least 75 arrests.
