POLICE are investigating claims a brothel is being run in a residential street in Colchester.

People living in Greenstead Road have complained to police and council officials about late-night visitors to number 188.

One resident, who asked not to be named, said: “There is a constant stream of men arriving in our street looking for sex.

“We have had enough of the authorities turning a blind eye.”

The address appears on Colchester Hot Babes’ website, which has pictures of scantily-clad women and advertises massages for up to £120.
