Switzerland to vote on installing drive-in 'sex boxes' to protect residents in red light district
Police in Switzerland are planning to build a series of drive-in 'sex boxes' to allow prostitutes to conduct their business in more privacy.
Residents whose homes overlook the thriving red light district in Zurich have flooded the police with thousands of complaints about prostitutes.
Zurich police chief Daniel Leupi is proposing the idea of the 'sex boxes' - which are already in use in German cities including Essen and Cologne - as a way to let prostitutes work in a more discrete environment.

The boxes are made from simple metal fencing and are wide enough for those seeking the services of a prostitute to park their car.
One resident said: 'They get up to all sorts in broad daylight - and we're sick to death of looking at it.'
Police spokesman Reto Casanova said: 'We can't get rid of prostitution, so have to learn how to control it.'
