Default Gambling ring allegedly connected to organized crime

Gambling ring allegedly connected to organized crime
January 5,2006
SCITUATE, R.I. (AP) - A team of Rhode Island police have broken up one of the state's largest sports betting enterprises in recent history.

The organization generated more than three (m) million dollars a month in bets.

A total of 24 people have been arrested, and 17 were charged with bookmaking.

The remaining defendants are charged with drug offenses or other crimes.

Colonel Steven Pare of the Rhode Island State Police says an operation of that scale could not exist without the blessing of the Patriarca crime family.

The two alleged leaders of the organization are identified as Raymond "Scarface" Jenkins and Richard Angell.

Authorities say the two are career bookmakers who have been arrested before for the same crime.
