Federal undercover operation run out of fake Westgate store yields drugs, guns and dozens of arrests

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/news/crime-law/federal-undercover-operation-run-out-of-fake-westg/nXSPk/

Selling shoes for $20, cigarettes for $3 and slacks for $10, Crossbones was a popular spot in Westgate. Even those who didn’t want to cash in on the discount prices stopped into the store in a small strip center to shoot pool or play video games on the Xbox the friendly owners provided.

“The whole neighborhood went there,” said Chanard Green , a Riviera Beach man who frequented the store on Westgate Avenue and Loxahatchee Road. “You could shoot pool, play video games, smoke weed. And they were always giving away free stuff.”



Strange local story sorry I don't have more.
