Veterans' Establishment Raided for Poker

The Harley-Sanford VFW Post was the setting for a police raid last Saturday in the latest crack down on video poker. While no arrests were made machines were seized along with about $30,000 in cash. The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post had in operation five video poker machines, the reason for the raid, which lasted about two-and-a-half hours. About 100 people were told to go home during the raid. According to the authorities the raid was a result of a long term investigation that started off with a tip, most likely from a family member of a gambler.
