Here is the text.
From Nov. 9th 2017.
Investigators seized dozens of unauthorized electronic gaming machines and more than $400,000 in cash during a “gaming raid” in Luzerne, Lackawanna and Wyoming counties on Wednesday, according to police.
The state police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement executed search warrants and/or conducted inspections at “licensed liquor establishments and other locations” in the three counties, police said in a news release.
The action was part of an ongoing investigation into illegal gambling, police said.
The news release did not indicate which establishments were raided, whether those establishments remain open or what charges police plan to lodge.
State police spokesman Ryan Tarkowski said the raids are part of an investigation involving state police and the state attorney general’s office. He declined to identify the locations that were targeted Wednesday because “the ongoing nature of the investigation” prohibits him.
Police did not plan to release further information on Thursday, Tarkowski said.
Attempts to find relevant search warrants filed in the court systems of Luzerne and Lackawanna counties on Thursday proved unsuccessful.
Multiple sources suggested that one of the locations raided Wednesday was in Kingston, but no search warrant was on file at magisterial district court 11-1-05, which covers Kingston. Also, no warrant was on file at Luzerne County’s Central Court.
Staff from the 10 magisterial district courts in Lackawanna County and the two in Wyoming County all said that search warrants related to the case did not pass through their offices.
Trooper Mark Keyes, a spokesman for Troop R, which covers Lackawanna County, said the troop was not asked to assist in the operation.
A spokeswoman from the state attorney general’s office, which would prosecute the case, did not return an email seeking comment.
