COCOA BEACH -- Code enforcement investigators are looking into a Cocoa strip club where police said they found two teenage girls under the age of 18 dancing.
Police said both girls -- ages 17 and 15 -- were wearing bathing suit-type outfits when investigators found them at the club named Playmates.
Investigators said the 15-year-old has not been in school since the 7th grade. This year she would have been in 10th grade.
The teens were removed Friday night after a worried mother called police and said she was afraid her daughter was dancing there.
No arrests have been made.
Police spokeswoman Barbara Matthews said the club is missing a lot of documentation and that it had been investigated before.
Staff members told investigators the new club owners have only been in charge for a few weeks, and the girls were dancing there prior to the owners' arrival.
