On Tuesday, SFPD executed raids at three suspected gambling dens in the Tenderloin district, seizing over $30,000 in cash, gambling machines, methamphetamine, and illegal sedatives. The raids, which took place on Ellis and Jones streets, are part of an ongoing crackdown on illegal gambling operations in the area. The authorities also detained several individuals connected to the operations and uncovered evidence of organized retail theft. Three suspects now face multiple charges, including drug-related offenses alongside illegal gambling activities.
During the search warrant service, investigators detained several subjects, SFPD said in a release. Officers conducted a search of the premises and seized evidence of illegal gambling, including several illegal gambling machines, over $30,000 in U.S. currency, suspected narcotics and over 80 items suspected to have been stolen in organized retail theft.
The raids occurred Tuesday at 4:30 pm on the 400 block of Ellis Street and the 300 block of Jones Street. The three businesses are not named. But these are definitely different alleged gambling parlors than the three corner stores and laundromats on Leavenworth Street that were busted as suspected gambling dens this past September.
