Police Lt. Mark Manley says officers served search warrants Friday at Relax Zone, Super Day Spa Massage, Angel Massage, Fantastic Spa, Rainbow Spa, A1 Oriental Massage and Visage Spa.

Manley says it appears the parlors appear to be part of a "commercial brothel."

There were no arrests. All the businesses have been given notice that their licenses will be rescinded within 30 days.

The Los Angeles Times says the parlors are bundled into a small facility alongside three marijuana dispensaries and a pizza parlor.
