Police busted an illegal casino operation in East Oakland this week. They said they recovered firearms, ammunition, cash and more.
Neighbors said they welcomed the police taking action but that more needs to be done. They said they want continued and consistent law enforcement."We don't want the casino around here. That's going to bring violence and other things out here," said Matthew Wilson Sr with Agnes Memorial Church.
Police said officers made a bust on Wednesday at an illegal casino and recovered 3 firearms, including an assault rifle with extended magazines, ammunition and an undisclosed amount of cash.Police said they arrested four people. "Having an illegal casino brings a lot of bad energy. We're trying to build an environment, a community," said Matthew Wilson Jr with Agnes Memorial Church.
Noel Gallo, the city council member who represents the district," said the illegal casino that is the focus of the police bust was operating out of a home on East 16th Street. "The noise level the activity, the gangs, the fighting that goes on is serious," said Gallo. Yet Gallo said he's counted five illegal casinos in a one-mile radius, including ones that operate inside commercial spaces that double as gambling spots after hours.
