Illegal Gambling Bust Nets 113 Casino Type Video Machines

While people who are involved with illegal gambling machines watch the raids that are taking place around the country, they must begin to worry. Could they be next?

The latest raid came in East Montgomery County. The raid led to the arrest of eight people, all accused of being involved in an organized crime organization.

The raid took place across two establishments, and one residence. "Taj Mahal", and "Sugars", were raided in the early morning on Tuesday, as owners were opening up. The residence was the house of one of the operators of the illegal gambling operation.

The operation was run by an organization in North Carolina, and police were not yet done rounding up the suspects. Two others were negotiating their surrender to police.

Many people that were gambling at these illegal locations were also not happy to hear the news of the bust. The police seized records with names of all of the operations clients. Police are not keeping that information to themselves, either.

"Information gathered during the investigation will be forwarded to the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies. we're pursuing more warrants and more indictments for engaging in organized criminal activity," said Lt. Phillip Cash.
