The sting took place at about 5 p.m. Thursday, with officers patrolling the U.S. 1 corridor where suspected prostitutes are frequently seen.

By 9 p.m., Melbourne officers with the department’s Special Operations Unit took four women into custody.

Maria Aviles, 38, Jody Kea, 36, Shelena Keller, 26, amd Mary Tracy, 31 were charged with solicitation for prostitution. They were taken to the Brevard County Detention Center and Sharpes.
