More than 30 people were charged Wednesday when Sandy Springs police raided three adult entertainment establishments, police said.

Officers say citizen concerns prompted them to begin the investigation in September.

A total of 34 citations were issued to employees. Nine citations were issued at Flashers, six at Mardi Gras and 19 at the Doll House, according to Channel 2 Action News.

Arrests were also made at each of the three locations for solicitation for an illicit sexual act, Sandy Springs police spokesman Capt. Mike Lindstrom said in a news release.

Tonya Thompson, 39, was arrested at Flashers; Kelsey Kay Pierce, 24, was arrested at Mardi Gras; and Arielle Johnson, 28, was arrested at Doll House, Lindstrom said Thursday.
