ROGERS, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Rogers police along with other agencies as part of a state-wide operation arrested a man suspected to be involved with human trafficking at three massage parlors in the city.



According to a press release, Yuhe Yang was arrested on Feb. 3 for trafficking of persons and engaging in a continuing criminal gang, organization, or enterprise.


The release says in fall 2024, the Rogers Police Department along with the Arkansas Attorney General’s Office, Benton County Prosecutor’s Office and the Benton County Sheriff’s Office began a human trafficking investigation into three Asian massage parlors.

The release said the investigation ended on Jan. 23 with the execution of simultaneous search warrants for Ping Massage, Stream Massage and Tulip Massage.

The release says the three massage parlors were owned and operated by the same three people. One of the owners was Yang.

Yang is being held at the Benton County Jail. He is being held on a $500,000 bond.

Yang’s arrest was part of a state-wide operation led by Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin’s office.

Griffin said the raids targeted massage parlors around the state as Operation Obscured Vision. He said 17 victims were identified with aid given to 16 of them after 12 search warrants were executed.

Other raids were conducted in Jonesboro, Russellville, Hot Springs, Rogers, Harrison, and Little Rock.
