An anonymous tip led Orange County deputies to the property on Poncho Lane near Christmas, Florida, where dozens of people were suspected of participating or viewing cockfights. The Sheriff's department is calling this a major cockfighting ring, and states that it allegedly involved more than 60 chickens.

The police video shows large groups of men fleeing from a small building when they realized the police helicopter was over the structure.

Deputies were able to stop several of the vehicles as they attempted to drive away from the scene.

Anyone participating in a cockfight or even attending one could face a felony charge, according to the report.

Authorities reportedly confiscated metal spurs apparently used to strap on legs of roosters.

Deputies have not determined whether anyone will be charged in connection with the raid.
