BRIDGEPORT—
Four unlicensed massage parlors that were shut down last month after a police sweep were shut down again over the weekend, police said.
The four business were among 10 unlicensed massage parlors that were closed down in December.
Members of the Narcotics and Vice Squad revisited the four locations on Saturday and found they had re-opened and continued to operate without the needed documents, police said.

Chate'au on Fairfield Avenue, Silver Spa on Fairfield Avenue, Oriental Health Spa on Main Street and Kay's Hong Kong on North Avenue were shut down again.
The businesses were ordered shut under a state law requiring massage parlors to be licensed and all masseuses acquire state licenses. The parlors are believed to be fronts for prostitution.
Two of those businesses, Chate-au and Kay's Hong Kong, had also been shut down earlier this month, police said.
Police also arrested several women on Saturday after they allegedly failed to show required licensing. Arrested were: Kisook Kimm, 46, of New Jersey; Aesu Lee-Mundy, 51, of Kentucky; Misung Lee, 59, of New Jersey; Young Stone, 52, of New York; Chang Anderson, 67, of New York; Kumyop Dunford-Harris, 63, of Bridgeport, and Chun Lee Hwang, 49, of Bridgeport.
The women were booked and held on $1,000 bonds.
