Reportedly, while searching the locations, agents gathered evidence related to crimes of commercial gambling and also seized money gained from illegally using gaming machines, according to News 12 Augusta. 

A number of commercial operations were raided in connection to the probe.  Each was found to be properly licensed to operate Coin Operated Amusement Machines but customers were discovered receiving cash payouts for winning credits, which is illegal in the state.

The Camak Grocery & Deli on Highway 80 North, the Gunn Mini Mart on Main Street in Warrenton, the Chevron on Thomson Hwy. in Warrenton, and Norwood B&D on Atlanta Hwy. in Norwood were all searched.
