The New Brunswick Police Department said Friday that an undercover sting operation targeting "street-walking" prostitutes had resulted in the arrest of seven women and one man on prostitution-related charges.

Police say one woman who was arrested during the sting in the early afternoon was arrested a second time in the early evening after being released from police custody and returning to the same area to resume her earlier activities.

A spokesman for the department says the sting operation was in response to resident's complaints about prostitution activities in the area of Commercial Avenue and George Street in New Brunswick.
