JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Following a multi-agency probe into illegal gambling operations, six individuals are now confronting charges, as stated by the Glynn County Police Department. The investigation focused on several businesses in Brunswick.

On Thursday morning, authorities carried out arrest warrants at the implicated Brunswick establishments. This was part of an ongoing collaborative investigation centered around slot machines, also known as Coin Operated Amusement Machines (COAMs).

Multiple people were arrested in the operation, and the Georgia Lottery Corporation also issued administrative citations to the businesses involved, police said. The coin machines found inside the businesses were also shut down.

The following people were arrested and the following businesses were cited in the investigation:

First Coast News reached out to investigators, asking what charges the suspects are facing, along with their mugshots.

Detectives with the Glynn County Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Commercial Gambling Unit and the Georgia Lottery Corporation took part in the investigation.
