A New Rochelle woman is facing charges after several illegal gambling devices were seized from a bar she owns, police say.

Members of the New Rochelle Police Department Criminal Investigations Division executed a search warrant Aug. 1 at Union Avenue Sports Bar. Investigators seized four video-style slot machines that were in a private room.

Gisselle Lopez was arrested and charged with promoting gambling and four counts of possession of a gambling device. She is expected to appear in court next month.

Police say the business was referred to the New York State Liquor Authority for multiple violations and license review.
