(MNN)-Eight suspects face felony charges for stealing nearly 200 thousand dollars in pull tab funds intended for Minnesota youth sports, veterans, and community organizations. State Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement officials say a 14-month investigation found that 50-year-old Arron King Senior of St. Paul led the racketeering scheme between March of 2023 and late February 2024. The suspects would use pry bars and sledgehammers to break into buildings and the safes that contained cash from pull tab sales. The stolen funds were intended for charities including the Howard Lake and Stillwater American Legions; Champlin-Dayton Athletic Association; Rogers, Monticello, and Roseville hockey; Forest Lake VFW; and Hopkins Raspberry Association.
