PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Police have arrested six people they claim ran a multimillion-dollar prostitution ring out of luxury apartments in Pasadena and Irvine.

A Pasadena police statement Wednesday says officers acting on an anonymous tip worked with federal immigration agents to make the arrests last month following a 2-year investigation.

Cash, cars, jewelry and other property were seized.

The alleged ringleaders, a man and woman from Temple City, remained jailed Wednesday.
