"today in the bay's" bob redell is live in gilroy this morning. he's there to tell us exactly what this is all about. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jon.

gilroy police tell us this liberty pcs internet cafe in gilroy was in actuality an illegal gambling operation, one where people could come in here and gamble on computers for real money. as you look inside you can see pd has put an end to this alleged illegal activity and taken out all the computers of the shop. if you look over here on the door from the city of gilroy, the gilroy police department posted a notice that all the equipment will be destroyed in 30 days. law enforcement raided liberty pcs last night, removing about 40 computer stations and boxes full of other materials. this was a result of a joint investigation with the federal government that started in the spring and involved visits by undercover agents. according to police, this is how the operation worked. a customer would buy internet cards, cards that have a credit for time online. he'd then be able to go to one of their computers and play casino games on one of those 40

computers. there was a selection of about 30 to 40 games according to police ranging from slots to key know to poker. your winnings would be credited back to the internet card which could be used during a future visit or cashed out for u.s. dollars. >> every time we came in, we never saw retail sales. it was strictly gamble. the undercover agents came in and they categorized the business as a sweepstakes. quite the contrary, people would cash out and get u.s. currency as their wings. whenever that happened, apparently fairly infrequent. >> reporter: police tell us these types of alleged gambling operations are not uncommon, that there are others in the bay area. we left a message for liberty pcs to get their side of the story. live in gilroy, bob redell, "today in the bay." we are less than 72 hours away from a possible strike by b.a.r.t. workers. both sides will meet again this morning to try to hammer out a deal.

"today in the bay's" christie smith is live with what they're doing to get ready for monday. >> reporter: good morning. that 72-hour strike notice was given. there are still a couple of things that could happen to avoid a strike. at this point it doesn't seem all that likely. as you said, both sides going back to the negotiating table at about 9:00 this morning here in oakland to try and reach a deal. the clock is ticking. it was just before 9:00 last night when b.a.r.t. management left the caltrans building where the talks have been going on during this extension period. there are now only three days left to reach a deal. yesterday evening b.a.r.t.'s union workers took to the streets of oakland with a rally. the key issues, still, pay raises, contributions to health care and pensions. once again computers could be left holding the bag looking for other ways to get to work in all the gridlock. of course, other transit agencies are boosting their service to try and help. b.a.r.t. is suggesting that the

unions continue their temporary agreement that put a stop to the shutdown last month. for now the clock is still winding down. >> the 72-hour notice is not something by law we have to do. it is something we want to advise the public that we've tried to do everything we can to prevent a strike and it looks like it's not possible. >> we need to stay at the table, keep the trains running and reach an agreement. >> reporter: a couple of options. the unions could continue to work temporarily. the governor could step in. b.a.r.t. could oppose the contract. no movement there. b.a.r.t. saying that their plan, if the strike goes through is they will lose 95 charter buses to try to move commuters from the east bay into san francisco which is slightly more than they used last night. live in oakland, christie smith, "today in the bay.." you might guess, a b.a.r.t. strike is costly. here is a stat you likely didn't realize t bay area economy

stands to lose about $73 million per day in productivity. the bay area council says that number is based on an estimate of 970,000 workers in the bay area who had an average two-hour delay during last month's strike. multiply that by the bay area's median wage of about $37 per hour, that equals $73 million in lost productivity. wow. if a strike does happen, nbc bay area, we're here for you, especially early in the morning. on monday our b.a.r.t. strike coverage will start one-half hour early starting at 4:00 a.m. at "today in the bay." we will continue throughout the day on day and we always do it online at nbcbayarea.com. in other news this morning, a special conference will be held in san francisco to talk about fighting child sex trafficking. the meeting comes just one day after the fbi announced its crackdown on child sex trafficking that led them to an
