Meanwhile in Georgia . . .

Police in Gwinnett County, Georgia had a VHS rental store on their radar since the beginning of the year, and noticed A LOT of customers coming and going, but none ever left with carrying a VHS tape.

An undercover officer went into the VHS rental store last week and noticed the newest movie in stock was from 2007.

After further investigation, police learned what was really going on . . . the VHS rental store was a front for an illegal sports gambling ring!

The place was raided earlier this week, and the owner, Boonlert Boonsawang, was arrested.
