Agents with a Bay Area computer crimes task force arrested four men in San Francisco last month after raiding a house that allegedly served as an after-hours casino and a location for identity thieves to trade stolen mail, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.

The house, known as "the Castle," is located on Newhall Avenue in the city's Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood and was known to offer after-hours gambling with slot machines and other casino equipment, district attorney's officials said.

Investigators also believe methamphetamine was purchased and stolen mail exchanged in "the Castle." The mail was used by identity thieves to prey on residents in wealthy areas including in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, according to the district attorney's office.
