• Undercover: Trenton Police Seize $100,000, 70 Slot Machines (newsbreak.com) — Hopewell residents may notice their local police mentioned in a major Trenton gambling bust, as Hopewell officers joined several agencies in a months-long investigation that seized 70 slot machines and over $100,000. Authorities say the operation placed machines in small Trenton businesses and funneled large cash deposits through bank accounts. Local departments stress the action was unrelated to immigration enforcement and encourage tips about illegal gambling.
