BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. — A popular Boynton Beach strip club, Platinum Showgirls, has been shut down after a raid 4 months in the making.
SWAT teams swarmed the club on Federal Highway Friday night following an undercover investigation. According to the Boynton Beach Police, more than 30 employees, including club owner Matt Barrow, have been charged with racketeering and drug trafficking.
WPBF News has also learned that Platinum Showgirls also violated county ordinanced by allowing many of its dancers to perform lap dances, work without I-D cards and drink underage with customers.
In June, undercover officers began going into the club attempting to buy drugs. Within days, authorities say they were buying hundreds of dollars worth of cocaine and prescription painkillers from dancers. Boynton Beach Public Information Officer Stephanie Slater says “Undercover officers were able to purchase narcotics from the dancers, who often kept the drugs in a pouch under their skirts.”
