A North Hampton man was among the seven men arrested for prostitution in Manchester last week after agreeing to pay an undercover police officer money "in exchange for sexual contact," according to Manchester police.

Bruce Lovette, 24, of North Hampton, allegedly approached an undercover officer walking in the area of Beech and Manchester streets at an undisclosed time on Friday, according to Manchester Police Lt. Maureen Tessier.

Six Manchester men, ranging in age from 26 to 48 years old, were also arrested as a result of Friday's undercover operation, which Tessier said was intended to detect illegal prostitution activity in Queen City neighborhoods.
