Several of the men allegedly responded to online advertisements posted on 'known commercial sex websites' by undercover officers, while others were arrested after allegedly making street-level offers for sex to undercover officers who were on the sidewalk, according to police reports.
The operation was launched after the police department's Human Trafficking Unit received 'actionable intelligence indicating that women in the area were being systematically exploited for commercial sex,' police said.
The first arrest came early Thursday morning when shortly before 7:20 a.m. Marmandis pulled up in a black Nissan Altima and offered an undercover officer $20 for a oral sex, police wrote in an incident report.
A short time later, Pena was arrested after responding to an online advertisement and allegedly agreed to pay $275 for an hour of sex, according to the report. He allegedly went to Home2 Suites by Hilton at 15 Jan Karski Way shortly after 8:10 a.m. to meet the undercover officer and was arrested, the report said.

Galdamez Surio then left the Target and fled into the parking lot, where he was arrested, police said. Galdamez Surio suffered foot injuries during the chase and was treated by Boston EMS before he was booked, police said.
