The San Diego Police Department raided an illegal gambling operation in a City Heights home on January 3, as confirmed in a post on their official Facebook page.

What looked like an ‘ordinary house’ was filled with gambling machines, a stolen weapon and around $4,500 in cash in what turned out to be an illegal gambling den.

Police found 28 people inside the property as they made nine arrests, although charges are still pending for those who were detained at the scene of the crime.
