State police raided a local mini-mart for its owner’s supposed use of the site as a speakeasy.

At approximately 3 p.m. Feb. 9, officers from the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement arrived at the Rising Sun Grocery Store, 2348 S. Seventh St., seizing beer, a video poker machine and $355 in cash. They arrested 44-year-old South Philly resident Sopheak Oun, charging her with manufacturing malt/brewed beverages without a license, conspiracy and possession of gambling devices. They added they received payouts for credits earned on the machine.

Oun, who received Release On Recognizance, awaits a March 12 status hearing.
