OAKLAND, CA \u2014 Police say they busted an illegal gambling den in Oakland, leading to the arrest of three people for outstanding warrants. <\/p>\n
A recent shooting, ongoing complaints from neighbors and a history of violence where the den is located in the 1400 block of 17th Street prompted authorities to begin looking into the place, according to the Oakland Police Department. <\/p>\n
It’s unclear when the investigation began, but federal and local law enforcement agents were able to gather enough evidence to secure a search warrant for the den. <\/p>\n
Authorities served the warrant at the den on Thursday and found drugs, a gun, cash and gambling equipment inside, police said.<\/p>\n
Three people were taken into custody on outstanding warrants. Police did not identify any of them or say if any of them are accused of operating the den. <\/p>\n
“This operation highlights the diligent efforts of OPD officers to address crime and enhance community safety,” police said in a statement. “OPD would like to thank community members for reporting illegal activities and encourage residents to continue reporting illegal gambling or other dangerous activities to help keep neighborhoods safe.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OAKLAND, CA \u2014 Police say they busted an illegal gambling den in Oakland, leading to the arrest of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":265947,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144],"class_list":["post-265946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
