A Native American Tribe said, on June 22, that it has busted a large drug operation at its casino within the state of Minnesota.
The Red Lake Nation, in collaboration with its casino administration, and the Red Lake Police Department, announced the significant illegal drug bust at the Seven Clans Casino, Thief River Falls.
“This operation demonstrates the Red Lake Nation’s commitment to the health and safety of staff and customers and the Nation’s goal of preserving the community’s well-being,” the tribe said.
The announcement didn’t mention what drug it was nor the amount that was seized.
Law enforcement agencies executed a “coordinated operation,” which resulted in the interception and seizure of a “substantial quantity of illegal drugs” at Seven Clans Casino, Thief River Falls.
“The Red Lake Tribal Council, the Red Lake Police Department and the casino administration stand united in prioritizing the protection of its staff and patrons,” the tribe added. “Recognizing the urgent need to eradicate illicit substances from their premises, the Tribal Council has consistently advocated for a secure and drug-free environment within the Reservation and at its gaming properties.”
The tribe said that moving forward, it will continue strengthening its security measures and collaborating with local and federal law enforcement agencies.
The casino is a modest one in terms of offerings. The casino floor has about 650 gaming machines (video slots, poker and keno) and four blackjack tables.
