Suffolk County police have busted an alleged illegal fight club operating out of a home in Shirley, resulting in the arrest of 13 people. The fight club, which was reportedly being run out of a residential home, was discovered after police received a tip about the illicit activity. Authorities say that the fight club was being operated without any licenses or permits, and that participants were engaging in violent and unregulated fights. The police investigation, which was conducted by the Suffolk County Police Department’s First Precinct, found that the fight club was being run by a group of individuals who were promoting and profiting from the events. The fights, which were reportedly being held on a regular basis, were said to be attracting large crowds and were being advertised on social media. Police say that the fight club was a serious concern for public safety, as participants were not being properly trained or supervised, and were at risk of serious injury. The 13 people arrested in connection with the fight club were charged with a variety of crimes, including promoting a combat sport without a license, operating a business without a license, and disorderly conduct. The arrests were made after police executed a search warrant at the home, where they found evidence of the fight club, including fighting equipment and promotional materials. The Suffolk County Police Department has stated that it will continue to crack down on illegal fight clubs and other illicit activities in the area. The bust is part of a larger effort by law enforcement to address public safety concerns and prevent violent crime. The fight club was reportedly being run by a group of individuals who were taking advantage of the lack of regulation in the area to profit from the events. The police department has urged anyone with information about other illegal fight clubs or activities to come forward and report it. The investigation is ongoing, and police say that additional arrests may be made. The community has expressed relief and gratitude to the police department for taking action to address the public safety concern. The incident has also raised concerns about the need for greater regulation and oversight of combat sports and events in the area. The Suffolk County Police Department has stated that it will continue to work with local officials and community leaders to address the issue and prevent similar incidents in the future.
