Israeli 21 Jump Street shuts down high school casino, arrests 32 students

Police in Israel have broken up a casino some enterprising students organized at a local high school.

On Wednesday, Arutz Sheva reported that police in the city of Be’er Sheva had arrested 32 students for allegedly setting up a wide-ranging gambling operation at their local high school.

Following a tip that something illicit was going on, the local police mobilized their youth unit operatives to conduct a five-month undercover investigation. These 21 Jump Street wannabes disguised as students were ably assisted by the Magen Project, an independent group set up to provide security at local synagogues.

After gathering sufficient evidence, the police pounced, seizing playing cards, poker chips and cash. The youthful miscreants who organized the illegal gaming operation folded under police questioning and were transferred to the Juvenile Probation Service for further disciplinary action and the eternal disappointment of their unforgiving mothers.
