Burglary Warning for Gambling Operations

The Minnesota Gambling Control Board and the Department of Public Safety are warning organizations about a recent increase in burglaries targeting pull-tab dispensing machines.

To help reduce the risk of theft:

• Do not store money in the dispensing machine other than what’s in the machine's cash box.

• Remove cash as frequently as possible.

• Report suspicious activity immediately to local law enforcement; the Department of Public Safety at 651-201-7500; or the Gambling Control Board at 651-539-1900.

Please share this information with all staff and volunteers involved in your gambling operation.
