The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) revealed more details aboutthe takedown of a major gambling ring that stretched from Palm Beach County, up the Treasure Coast, and even reached into the Tampa Bay area.
The Narcotics Division’s Money Laundering unit stated over $900,000 in cash was recovered along with more than 1,000 illegal slot machines. In addition to that, authorities seized three vehicles and two firearms.
Six people have been arrested as a result of the PBSO investigation, dubbed ‘Operation Fools Treasure.’ The arrests were the result of a PBSO sting operation into money laundering and illegal gambling operating in and around Palm Beach County.
