SAN ANTONIO – Multiple people are in jail for running a suspected gambling ring just minutes from an elementary school on the Northeast Side.

The raid happened Monday at a building off Lakeview Drive near North Foster Road, just a 10-minute walk from Paschall Elementary.

According to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, four arrests were made. They face several charges, including engaging in organized criminal activity.

Sheriff Javier Salazar said about $5,000 was seized as well as several gaming machines.

Investigators don’t believe this gambling ring is tied to other gambling operations. They say operations likes this typically prey on people with fixed incomes hoping to win big.
