Macao police have captured five suspects allegedly selling drugs and running
an underground casino, local media reported on Wednesday.
The Macao Post Daily quoted police sources as saying that the police forces
apprehended the quintet Monday based on a tip-off and seized 20.37 gram of
ketamine and 47 ecstasy pills on the suspects.
The police forces then raided a downtown apartment flat rented by the
suspects, seizing a number of bank notes and gaming chips worth 4 million Hong
Kong dollars (571,400 U.S. dollars), the sources told the newspaper.
The suspects are believed to use drugs to make easier their hoodwinking on
their gaming patrons, the sources were cited.
The five suspects, four Vietnamese nationals and one Chinese mainlander, have
been transferred to the Public Prosecution for further investigations and
possible arraignment of drug-trafficking and fraud charges.
