TAMPA - Police seized more than $24,000 and arrested two people during an investigation at a South Tampa massage spa Thursday.
Joo Kim, 46, and Mee Yung Pak, 43, gave undercover officers deep tissue massages without being licensed by the state to do so, Sgt. James Contento said.
Kim and Pak were charged with felony unlicensed practice of a health care profession. Pak also was charged with offering sex for money, a misdemeanor.
The raid at The Gold Spa, 3637 S. Dale Mabry Highway, took place at 2:10 p.m. Thursday.
Officers found $24,157 cash in a wicker basket, Contento said. Nobody claimed ownership, so officers seized the money.
Kim's bail was set at $2,000. Pak's bail was set at $2,250. Each has been released.
