Roanoke police searched Guys & Dolls Billiards on Williamson Road Northeast Friday on suspicion of illegal gambling and stolen property being sold to the business owner. Roanoke police say the investigation was conducted with the assistance of confidential informants who would sell items that were represented as stolen. They also played video poker machines inside the business that paid currency for winnings. Due to the conditions of the building when the search warrant was executed, code enforcement was notified and responded. At this time, the building has since been condemned. Police say charges are pending.
