The San Antonio Police Department have once again taken to social media to give folks an inside look at arrest operations across the city.

The virtual ride-along, which was previously used to highlight DWI arrests during Fiesta, was used to highlight an undercover sting operation to catch those soliciting for prostitutes, according to the SAPD Facebook page.

The page started out with showing photos of people with their hands cuffed behind their backs, but later photos showed the faces of some of the suspects.

KSAT reported the ride-alongs were part of a two-night operation, and officers made about a dozen arrests.

Of those arrested late Tuesday or early Wednesday, five were men soliciting for sexual favors and were charged with prostitution, according to KSAT.

This initiative will continue in other parts of town, police told KSAT, and there’s sure to be more photos shared on Facebook.
