Cape Cod Wellness Studio Closed Amid 'Sex' Investigation

YARMOUTH, MA — Police in Yarmouth said they are continuing an investigation into alleged prostitution at a wellness studio. Police last week announced the probe into Zen Wellness Studio, which has since closed. Yarmouth police on Tuesday said the town's building commissioner issued a cease-and-desist order to studio owner Al-Najar Razzak because he did not obtain the proper permits.

"The Yarmouth Police Department and the Town of Yarmouth take sexual trafficking, prostitution, money laundering, and the exploitation of women and children very seriously in our town," Yarmouth police said in a statement. "The investigation into activities at this location — 1247 Route 28 in South Yarmouth — is active and ongoing. We look forward to stopping these types of crimes in our Town and keeping our community and residents safe."

Police said anyone with information about illegal activities at Zen Wellness or elsewhere can contact them at 508-775-0445.
