Agents seize more bingo machines at same location they uncovered stolen state evidence

LIPSCOMB, Ala. (WBRC) - Agents with the Alabama Attorney General’s Office (AGO) uncovered what they’re calling ‘hundreds of illegal gambling machines’ at multiple locations in Jefferson County Thursday.

Agents served a search warrant at Jay’s Charity Bingo in Lipscomb Thursday morning. This is the same location the Attorney General’s Office shut down in late August while recovering machines that were stolen from state evidence.

According to the AGO, the gambling machines were easy to detect due state evidence stickers. This resulted in five arrests.

In October, WBRC’s James Giles confirmed Jay’s Charity Bingo was operating again weeks after being closed down by state investigators.

Agents are also serving search warrants in other locations including a location near the Bessemer Super Highway.

WBRC will update this story as much information is available.
