Police were tipped off about a large gathering in defiance of local lockdown rules - and found a Friday afternoon sex party in full swing, the Manchester Evening News has learned.
Caught in the act were a number of sex workers and their customers in a flat above a shop in Old Trafford.
The brothel close to the Tollgate pub on Seymour Grove was raided and the party was brought to an abrupt end.
A number of fixed penalty notices were dished out for Covid-19 breaches.
