Suspects in custody, gambling machines recovered after police search illegal 'slap house' in Westminster
One such warrant was served at a home in the city on Wednesday, which resulted in six people being taken into custody and seven large gambling machines being recovered. Charges could now be pending against those individuals.
Cmdr. McCormick said their department is done playing games when it comes to illegal gambling establishments, also known as "slap houses," within city limits. On Wednesday, multiple agencies displayed their force as West County SWAT and other officers moved in on an alleged "slap house" in the 14600 block of Wakefield Street.
"With any kind of criminal element you have associated dangers. There's the risk of firearms, there's a risk of felons running these establishments. That's why the SWAT team is called in to serve these warrants," he said.
