The Alabama Attorney General’s office executed search warrants and seized hundreds of illegal gambling machines this week in different locations across the state.
WRBC News 6 reported from one of the locations where machines were seized, a charity bingo spot in Lipscomb. The report included comment from Attorney General Steve Marshall’s office stating that the machines were easy to track because of state evidence stickers.
