PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA: Police detained six foreign women as they were trying to escape through a ?secret tunnel? from the third to the ground floor in an exclusive club here.

The six, who did not have valid travel documents, were believed to be working as prostitutes.

Police suspect that several other women could have escaped via the tunnel before police finally entered the premises, a three-storey building in Sunway Mentari In Bandar Sunway.

Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohamed said police had to use a hacksaw to enter the premises as it was locked during the raid at 11pm on Tuesday.

"There is a lift but we believe it was shut down after the police were spotted on the cameras," he said.
