The former clinic on Cook Street just east of Quadra, which closed in June 2022, had been stripped out into a large room and filled with electronic gambling machines and table games
B.C.’s organized crime unit arrested 14 people after a raid on a former medical clinic in Saanich that had been secretly converted into an illegal gaming house described as a “mini casino.”
Houghton said the gaming house could have been in operation for a year or even longer, but the timeline won’t be known until the illegal gambling unit at combined special forces goes through all the evidence, including any paper and electronic evidence, that is being seized. Houghton said the suspects were questioned and released without charges, but will be re-interviewed in the days to come. Charges could be coming as the investigation continues, he said.
