DALLAS \u2014 Multiple law enforcement agencies in North Texas on Friday coordinated the raids of a house in Plano as well as a number adult bookstores across Dallas-Fort Worth, all of which are allegedly owned by the same person, police sources told WFAA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dallas police said the coordinated activity happened Friday morning across the Metroplex alongside other police departments and federal law enforcement agencies. A DPD source told WFAA the activity was a prostitution sting related to the Paris Adult Book Store, which is located on Harry Hines Boulevard in Dallas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Multiple agencies — including Plano PD, Dallas PD, IRS and DOJ officials — could be seen Friday at a Plano house on Coral Cove Court that is allegedly owned by the owner of same businesses raided by police.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sources did not provide the name of the owner of the home and the business locations raided by law enforcement, just that the locations were connected by their shared owner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Charges being pursued against the owner include prostitution, trafficking and money laundering, sources told WFAA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Friday bust was the culmination of an investigation that had been ongoing for at least a year, according to sources.<\/p>\n
