Fresno police discovered two separate narcotics labs, multiple firearms, and fully functioning slot machines during a probation compliance check at a home near Pontiac Way and Minnewawa Avenue.

Officers from the Southeast District conducted the check after initial resistance at the door, the Fresno Police Department said on Wednesday.

Once inside, they found a fully operating casino in the living room. While clearing the backyard, a female resident was detained after exiting a shed, where officers also saw a shotgun mounted to the wall.

In total, police recovered five firearms, multiple high-capacity magazines, a 3-D printer, four slot machines, and a large amount of ammunition. A hazardous materials team secured the lab materials.
