Hispanic Market follow

West Chester police made another arrest regarding illegal gambling and the illegal sale of alcohol at the Hispanic Market, which is located on the 300 block of South Matlack Street, but was condemned earlier this month by the Building and Housing Department, after numerous codes violations were found.

Victor Colon, 65, of East Fallowfield, was arrested yesterday. Colon, who owned and operated the market, has received multiple charges, mostly dealing with illegal gambling and the illegal sale of alcohol.

This arrest comes after police conducted a search warrant on Aug. 16 and found 12 cases of beer, two bottles of alcohol, a working video slot machine, twenty four trash bags stuffed with beer cans and about 500 plastic shot cups.
