- Thomas Tracy

COPS ARRESTED two Queens women for offering more than rub downs at a Long Island massage parlor, officials said Saturday.

Xiang Hong Wang, 41, of Flushing, and Liu Zhao, 53, of Elmhurst, were charged with prostituti­on and unauthoriz­ed practice of a profession following a Friday afternoon raid at the Zhen Zhen Spa in Lake Ronkonkoma.

After receiving several complaints from neighbors about shady happenings at the spa, Suffolk County police and the Town of Smithtown fire marshal conducted a surprise inspection.

Wang and Zhao were arrested and the fire marshal filed numerous safety violations, which were given to the business and property owner.

The arraignmen­ts for the two women were pending Saturday, officials said.

In June, another Queens resident, Hua Li, 41, of Flushing, was arrested on prostituti­on charges following a raid on the same spa, officials said.
