Off the news: HPD shutters another illegal game room
There’s been another bust at a Honolulu “game room” where illegal gambling takes place, but this time the perpetrators were arrested for robbing the joint.
Honolulu police officers responded to a report of a gunpoint robbery in process at the Kawaiahao Street site last Thursday, encountering one of three armed men attempting to exit. Two others were found hiding in a bathroom, with two pistols and two ski masks in a trash can.
The men are being prosecuted on federal charges of robbery connected to interstate “commerce.” Police also seized digital gambling machines, but no gambling arrests were made.
