Manassas City Police shut down six massage businesses and arrested three people Tuesday in Operation False Front, the department said.
The operation started with a Crime Solvers tip. Detectives and assisting agencies served search and arrest warrants at the businesses and at homes in the City of Manassas, Fairfax County, and Prince William County. Police said they seized several hundred thousand dollars in cash, plus records. Several people the department described as human-trafficking victims were found and given services.

Virginia Railway Express wants a federal planning grant to study how extreme heat, inland flooding and storms could affect its tracks and stations. The Operations Board on Sept. 18 recommended authorization to submit that application jointly with the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority.
The recommendation covers the U.S. Department of Transportation PROTECT planning-grant round for fiscal years 2024 through 2026. PROTECT is the Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-Saving Transportation program. Chief Executive Officer Katie Choe told the board she expects the grant to be about $800,000, fully reimbursed, with no local match. That figure is her expectation. It is not an award, and the written item does not state a dollar amount.

City staff is recommending the council approve a rezoning at 9007 Center St., InsideNoVa reports. The plan is 162 apartments and a five-story, 536-space garage on the former Manassas Ice & Fuel site. The city bought the land in 2025. A hotel on the old Olde Towne Inn property is not part of this vote. Potomac Local already covered the Planning Commission recommendation.
The deadline to pay Manassas personal property taxes without a penalty is Oct. 5, the city said.
