The illicit gambling den was housed on a parcel in the city\u2019s South Side. Various buildings and sheds were connected to hold the gaming operation, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar explained during a press conference at the crime scene.<\/p>\n

I would consider this a resounding success,” <\/strong>Salazar told the media. Four suspects were apprehended.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Three men were in custody following the search. They likely will be charged with gambling offenses, Salazar added. One was in charge of security, while another ran gambling operations. A fourth suspect, a woman, was charged with possession of Methamphetamine (meth). At least two weapons were seized.<\/p>\n

Their identities were not immediately released.No one was injured during the raid.<\/p>\n

The gambling complex has been in operation for 10 years.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty well known in the area,\u201d<\/strong> Salazar said about the operation. \u201cSo, thankfully, we were able to get in and get it shut down.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Office used a SWAT team to ram through a gate to enter the South Side complex.<\/p>\n

Bags containing cash also were found on Friday. One bag held about $15,000. Some of the money was stored in an ATM and safe.<\/p>\n
