BOYNTON BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A massage operation allegedly offering more than just massages was just busted in Boynton Beach. Boynton Beach Police shared this announcement with BocaNewsNow.com:
>> The Boynton Beach Police Department launched an investigation in July into an illegal massage operation near the 400 block of South Federal Highway, following an anonymous tip reporting narcotics and sexual activity taking place at the business. Over the last two months, BBPD Officers from the Street Crimes Unit and Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) investigated the suite’s activity and found multiple male subjects continuously entering and leaving the establishment. Using investigative means, officers found that some of the customers learned about the services through an online adult search engine.
On September 3, BBPD Street Crimes and CRA Officers conducted an undercover operation at the establishment. An officer working in an undercover capacity contacted the provided number for the masseuse and inquired about a massage. The undercover officer was given an address of 400 South Federal Highway, Suite 408 and the massage price of $150. The undercover officer arrived at the location and was invited in by 36-year-old Mariana Duran Montilla. During the operation Duran Montilla offered to perform sexual services to the undercover officer for an additional $50.
Mariana Duran Montilla was then arrested for Offering to Commit Prostitution, Unlicensed Practice of the Health Care Profession, Unlawful Use of a Two-Way Communication Device and Possession of a Controlled Substance. Duran Montilla is currently being held at the Palm Beach County Jail.
This operation was a collaborative effort between the Florida Department of Health, the Boynton Beach Police Department, Code Enforcement, and the City’s Development Services and Building Division. Prostitution and related illicit activity can fuel violent crime, exploitation, human trafficking, and other criminal nuisance conditions that harm the community. The Boynton Beach Police Department remains fully committed to protecting residents and improving the quality of life throughout the community.<<
