La Trinidad Eliminating Illegal Gambling 

The Mayor of La Trinidad is determined to remove all forms of illegal gambling. So far he has been successful in eliminating the illegal numbers game Jeuteng, but he is not planning on stopping there. He knows that there are illegal slot machines still in existence and is going after their owners as well.  

Mayor Nestor Fongwan raided a business on Wednesday that was operating the illegal slot machines and seized the slots. He said that he believes that they have removed all of the illegal jeuteng games from the town. He said they seized five slot machines in a billiard hall that was also operating without a business license.  

Fongwan did not inform the police of his intentions earlier on as he wanted to make sure that there was no way that the police could inform the business that they were coming. He said there is a rumor that many of the police own slot machines of their own. He said they could not inform the police prior to the raid for fear that if the allegations were true, they would be one step ahead of the authorities. 

The La Trinidad police deny the allegations, and that the only reason authorities are unable to seize illegal slot machines in a raid is because the owners of the illegal slot machines receive information before the police can get there.
