Speaking of the Hot Spot Internet Café in Joshua Tree, it has since closed down and removed most of its equipment. No one answered the phone at the Hot Spot Café in Yucca Valley Friday morning. This follows reports that the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department closed down four similar operations in Hesperia on Tuesday. A story in the Press-Enterprise said that authorities are still trying to identify co-conspirators, as well as other locations in San Bernardino County that might be running illegal gambling operations. A spokesperson at the local Sheriff’s station told z107.7 that they did not raid the Joshua Tree location, but the owner of this one also owns the ones that were raided in Hesperia.
