OAKLAND – A multi-day crackdown on illegal casinos earlier this month in Oakland resulted in nine arrests and the seizure of more than a dozen guns, police said.
From March 1 to March 5, officers served warrants at several locations, including the 1400 block of 17th Avenue, the 1900 block of 17th Avenue and the 9200 block of Plymouth Street, Oakland police spokesperson Paul Chambers said in a news release.
In addition to making arrests and seizing firearms, officers also recovered gambling machines, suspected methamphetamine and ammunition, Chambers said.
The crackdown followed an uptick in violence related to illegal casinos last month.
