HPD officers among 22 suspects arrested in major illegal gambling bust in Chinatown, DA says Local. By: Ciara R., Alex Green. Posted: Mar 28, 2018 / 09:10 AM CDT / Updated: Mar 28, 2018 / 07:02 PM. The Secrets Buried Under City Hall – Gambling in old Chinatown St. John’s Ward, known mainly as “The Ward,” was the landing ground for nearly every immigrant group in Toronto from 1830 to 1950. Covering the area bounded by College, Queen, Yonge and University, by 1900 the Ward was the most multicultural neighbourhood in the city. Authorities arrested 11 people yesterday when a swarm of more than 25 officers – including US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents — stormed a Chinatown gambling den, law enforcement so. Court documents indicate that Liu and others were operating a total of three illegal gambling businesses throughout Chinatown in Washington, D.C. The illegal gambling occurred from March 2007 to October 2011. Throughout March to December in 2007, Liu managed an illegal gambling business on the 800 block of Sixth Street NW.

The robbery took place during an apparent gambling game in the basement of a Chinatown building, under a grocery store at 67 Eldridge Street. According to the NYPD, the incident occurred around 4:55 p.m. on November 28th, 2019, when two males produced handguns while a third showed a knife and 'ordered 11 victims to get down on the ground and demanded cash and jewelry.' Surveillance video shows the victims being threatened by the armed suspects:

The suspects took an undetermined amount of cash and jewelry, including a gold necklace with a jade centerpiece. No one was injured during the robbery.
