Nearly a dozen arrested in quiet Orange County neighborhood as suspected gambling den uncovered

An alleged underground gambling den was shut down in a Westminster neighborhood Wednesday, with cops arresting 11 people and seizing suspected gambling machines, narcotics and drug paraphernalia.

The raid targeted a suspected “slaphouse” in the 6000 block of Apache Road, where police served a search warrant around 10 a.m.

Footage later showed a line of roughly 11 people sitting outside the home as officers stood guard. Police said the detainees had been rounded up from different parts of the house and backyard.

The bust came after neighbors told KTLA they had grown tired of the steady stream of people coming and going from the property at all hours of the night.

“These operations are often associated with criminal activity, including illegal gambling, drug use, and potential violence,” police said in a statement.
