The home of the couple's webmaster, Adrian 'Merv' Burch, was stormed by armed police. He is said to have be 'devastated' that the parlours' sex workers have had to go it alone without his 'protection'. Clients who caused difficulties had their photographs taken by the CCTV on entry to the premises and would be barred from services. They also provided CCTV footage if needed to the police if they became concerned, for example if there was interest in underage services, they were SIA accredited.
