Police in Minnesota found thousands of illegal scratch-offs and pull-tabs after raiding a house in Minneapolis. The homeowner was allegedly selling the gambling products through Facebook and is now facing dozens of charges.
The recently formed Financial Crimes Unit of the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office led the investigation and posted images of the haul on X:
The post explains that each stack of cards relates to the same game and that ten games equate to a felony charge. In addition to seizing the significant assortment of cards, police also found a rifle and a handgun with an extended magazine, saying that the illegally owned firearms were “easily accessible to multiple young children in the home.”
Law enforcement didn’t reveal the woman’s name or the location of the residence.
