Roundup of 65 in Atlanta-Area NCAA Basketball Tournament Betting Ring

WSB-TV Atlanta was reporting late Monday that Alpharetta police were booking about 65 people into jail in connection with an illegal gambling operation.

Police said they moved in on Pepperoni's Tavern on Old Milton Parkway at about 9 p.m. Monday.

Law enforcement claim the investigation is tied to a major NCAA College Basketball tournament betting ring.

“Alpharetta authorities had previously gathered intelligence regarding the planned operation of a large gambling event,” Gordon said in an email.
“Tonight, authorities moved against the gambling operation and detained approximately 65 people,” Gordon said, adding that police found “a large gambling operation in progress based upon the NCAA basketball tournament.”

Officers have confiscated handguns and large amounts of money.
