Louisiana, New Orleans has a small little suburb area known as Gretna and today Gretna Police announced that they took down a large illegal online gambling cafe in a large scale raid. This resulted in the arrest of two men and the seizure of all of their computers and related evidence towards the gambling cafe.
The raid took place on a beautiful Wednesday morning in Gretna. The Police took down the raid while all of their sound citizens slept. They took one hundred computers into evidence which showed the casino games that the cafe had to offer, a large portion of their money that was stashed and a large quantity of marijuana as well.
Those who were arrested in the raid included Manual Villagran and Jason Tomas. They both were taken into custody on the morning of Wednesday January 8th, 2014. They both were asleep at the time of the raid. The third individual connected to the gambling cafe, Marshall Isso is still on the run from Gretna Police.
Anthony Christiana, the Gretna Police Deputy Chief commented on the gambling raid saying, “The illegal gambling cafe worked the same way that normal illegal raids do. They would offer a special card where players would be able to deposit and withdrawal on. The card could then be cashed out allowing for the players to gamble to their hearts content.
This is the first illegal online gambling cafe raid to have taken place in the state of Louisiana, at least to our knowledge.” Said the Gretna Police Deputy Chief.
