Three people have been charged after police say they busted a large gathering involving illegal gambling and drinking Saturday at the Portuguese Soccer Club in Newark.

According to police, they found 50 people gathered inside the club on Wilson Avenue drinking, playing cards and using gambling machines. More than 400 bottles of beer, wine and liquor were seen.

There was also a full bar and bartender, but police say they were not able to show proper documentation to serve liquor.

Three Newark men were arrested and charged in connection to the gathering. They are 53-year-old Jose DaSilva, 61-year-old Victor Pereira and 31-year-old Byron Barranza.
