PHOENIX — Phoenix police say they have arrested two teenagers accused of pimping young girls for prostitution.
The teens are identified as Jazmine Finley and Tatiana Tye, both 16.
The Phoenix Police Vice Unit began investigating when Maryvale Precinct patrol officers gave detectives information on child prostitutes working the west Phoenix area.
Investigators say they found the suspects recruited at least five girls, ages 14 to 17, some of whom were from area high schools.
No prostitution crimes were committed on school grounds during the course of the investigation.
