Police Conduct Operation Following Community Complaints

The operation took place at approximately 3:00 PM on July 23, 2025, at the Ambassador Caffery Parkway location. During the investigation, officers gathered sufficient evidence to make an arrest for solicitation of sexual acts.

Wei Chen Zhang, a 30-year-old woman, was taken into custody on the solicitation charges. The specific charges and bond information were not immediately available from the police department.

Business Lacked Required Operating License

The investigation revealed that Oasis Massage did not possess a valid massage license required to operate in Lafayette. Louisiana law requires massage establishments to maintain proper licensing through local municipalities, and Lafayette has specific ordinances governing these businesses.

The unlicensed operation led to the immediate shutdown of the establishment. The Lafayette Police Department has not indicated whether additional charges related to operating without a license will be filed.

Community Information Sought

Lafayette Police are asking anyone with information about this incident to contact the department directly or Lafayette Crime Stoppers at 232-TIPS. Crime Stoppers allows callers to remain anonymous while providing tips about criminal activity.
