Arlington Heights police arrested 14 men on solicitation charges at a village motel last month as part of a national campaign to crackdown on the demand for prostitution.
The arrests results from sting operations conducted July 6 and July 28 in which, police said, the men arrested responded to online prostitution ads.
Arlington Heights police Cmdr. Nathan Hayes said the men arrived at the motel near Algonquin and Arlington Heights roads, negotiated an agreement to exchange sex for money and then were arrested.
“When something like this comes up, obviously we don't want any part of it in Arlington Heights,” Hayes said. “We're going to take an aggressive stance, and encourage people not to work in prostitution in Arlington Heights and encourage people not to patronize prostitutes in Arlington Heights.”
The arrests were part of an 18-state campaign targeting suspected “johns” conducted between July 1 and Aug. 7. More than 1,300 accused sex buyers were arrested, Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart said in a news release.
The operation also recovered 32 underage girls lured into human trafficking and made 71 human trafficking arrests, Dart said.
Dart's office made the most arrests, with 230, 43 of them in partnership with police in South suburban Lansing, Matteson and Broadview. The Lake County Sheriff's Office also took park in the national campaign.

Bowler, 60, of Chicago; Rodolfo Gonzalez-Segundo, 44, of South Elgin; Edin Lojo, 47, of Skokie; Sarabjit S. Datt, 41, of Palatine; Neal S.
