14 people are facing charges after police discovered an illegal gambling house operating in downtown Toronto, CP24 reports.
Police arrived at the scene after receiving a report of a person carrying a firearm. Upon entering the basement, the illegal gambling house was discovered.

The 14 people present have been charged with illegal gambling and for failing to abide by lockdown measures enforced under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act.
