VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — An illegal gaming house may have been taken down by police in Vancouver last night.
The Vancouver Police Department, along with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, executed a search warrant and raided the home around 10 p.m. Friday night
The agency — which is the largest integrated police program in Canada — says it was part of an investigation into illegal gambling. The team is made up of several municipal police departments, and they’re called in to investigate organized crime or matters where the public may be at risk.
A media spokesperson from the unit says she can’t provide details on arrests or charges stemming from last night’s search warrant as the operation is part of an active investigation.
