Five employees at two Kew Gardens motels, considered havens for pimps and hookers, including underage prostitutes were arrested earlier this week after search warrants were executed at the businesses, according to the Queens District Attorney’s Office.
The Kew Motor Inn at 139-01 Grand Central Parkway and the Par Central Motor Inn, at 82-85 Parsons Blvd., both of which are located in residential areas, were shut down under the city’s nuisance abatement law.
The five defendants are Par Central desk clerks Harripersa Ramjattan, Bhaskar Chaniha and Wojuech Sady, and Kew Motor Inn desk clerks Atm Raham and Masum Chowdhury.
They are accused of accepting bribes, allowing undercover officers to rent rooms without proper identification and knowingly allowing prostitution to take place on the premises.
