Northern District police plan to use everything from stings to warning letters to stop what they say is a persistent problem of transgender prostitution in south Charles Village.
"I'm getting a lot of complaints," district commander Maj. Sabrina Tapp-Harper told 20 area residents at a meeting in district headquarters Tuesday, Dec. 13.
A vice sting operation is "upcoming," Tapp-Harper said.
"Format letters" are also planned, to warn motorists whose cars are seen "lingering" in the area, she said.
