Centereach Massage Parlor Shut Down After Operating With Smoke Shop Signage: PD

CENTEREACH, NY — A Centereach massage parlor that was operating with the former tenant's smoke shop signage was shut down on Tuesday, Suffolk police said.

The Suffolk County Police Department’s Human Trafficking Investigations Unit conducted an operation at 2505 Middle County Road on Tuesday following community complaints, police said.

While the new business was still using the former business name, "Puff and Pass," detectives found evidence of a commercial sex operation, police said. The business, Facial Waxing Salon, opened in January 2025, police said.

The shop was closed after being deemed unsafe for occupancy, with help from the Town of Brookhaven Fire Marshal and Code Enforcement police said.

"The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information regarding this location is urged to contact the Human Trafficking Investigations Unit at 631-854-7512," the department wrote.
