San Diego Police raided two illegal gambling operations this week, seizing a total of 62 machines at a vacant building on El Cajon Boulevard and a storage facility in Chula Vista.

On Tuesday, officers first raided the building at 4835 El Cajon Boulevard, detaining several individuals and confiscating 23 machines, money and narcotics.

Then officers searched three storage units at 1160 Third Avenue in Chula Vista, finding 39 gambling machines and “a large amount of money.”

“Illegal gambling establishments pose significant risks to the community,” the department said in a statement following the raids. “These locations often attract additional criminal activity, including narcotics sales, theft and violence.”

Anyone with information about the gambling at the two locations was encouraged to call police at 619-531-2000 or San Diego County Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
