MIAMI BEACH - The $40 bus fare was a little steep, but the chance to get lap dances and sexual services from the prostitutes on board drew plenty of customers onto a "brothel bus" cruising along Collins Avenue, police say.

The onboard party came to an abrupt end early Sunday morning when three undercover officers arrested alleged prostitutes, johns and Christine Enyoniam Afi Morteh, 29, the Miramar woman accused of acting as the madam who lured patrons onto bus.

"Undercover officers were approached by a woman who charged them $40 for access and all you can drink," said police spokesman Detective Juan Sanchez. "Once inside, they were told about different charges for different acts."

Once the deals were struck, Sanchez said, one of the undercover officers gave a signal and the party was over.

From Thursday night through early Sunday morning, police made a total of 75 arrests (68 midemeanors and seven felonies) and recovered money, drugs, a firearm and the bus, which now sits impounded at the department's Fleet Management Area off the MacArthur Causeway.

A missing person was also found during the operation, Sanchez said.

The charges against Morteh include offering to commit prostitution, transportation for the purpose of prostitution and doing business without a license, according to a police report.
