Police have busted an air hostess sex ring that had up to 30 cabin crew moonlighting as escorts – charging wealthy clients up to £2,360 a night in Vietnam.
Officers raided a luxury hotel in Ho Chi Minh City on Wednesday evening, where they allegedly found three active flight attendants in bed with different men.
A fourth woman, who is a model, was also arrested while romping with a customer.
The group was frogmarched out of the building on Le Thi Rieng Street in an upmarket area of the city.
Police also arrested the alleged ringleader Vo Thi My Hanh, 26, and took her into custody. She allegedly sent men pictures of her girls in their airline uniforms to lure in customers.

Police claim there were at least 30 women on her books.
They were mainly air hostesses, who had already been through gruelling interviews to ensure they were pretty enough and had the right physique to be working at the airline – making them perfect for wealthy clients from around the world willing to pay large sums.
Vo Thi My Hanh would allegedly collect seven million VND (£231) as her fee for each booking.
She charged men £787 for a 90-minute session with the girls or £2,360 for an overnight stay.
Police said that the madam had made more than one billion VND (£33,000) for herself in just a few months.
Her social media profiles show her working as a cabin crew with Vietnam Airlines, welcoming customers and VIP guests.
She also posted pictures of her on yachts and staying at luxury destinations around the world.
Officers claim it was part of a ruse to draw other women into her lifestyle.
Cops are now trying to trace others involved in the prostitution ring and have appealed for other people involved to come forward with more information.
