SINGAPORE:
A syndicate believed to be conducting illegal bookmaking activities
within the Resorts World Sentosa casino has been crippled after a
24-hour joint operation which ended early Thursday morning.
The operation involved the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and Police Intelligence Department (PID), with support from the Casino Regulatory Authority of Singapore (CRA).
10 Singaporeans were arrested as a result. They included two women aged 43 and 47. The others are men aged between 21 and 58.
A joint statement from the Police and CRA said investigations by CID's Casino Crime Investigation Branch revealed that syndicate members had been offering patrons at the casino illegal insurance bets at the baccarat tables since June this year.
The offer of private bets is an offence under the Betting Act.
In total, nearly S$420,000 worth of cash and chips was seized from the suspects.
Director of CID, Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Hoong Wee Teck, said: "The Police have taken a strong stance against crimes, especially if they occur within the casinos. We will continue to take swift and stern action against any persons involved in bookmaking activities inside the casinos."
Commenting on the case, chief executive of CRA, Mr Lau Peet Meng, said: "The Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA) works closely together with the Police on casino-related crimes to ensure that the management and operation of the casinos are and remain free from criminal influence and exploitation.
"The successful execution of this operation was the result of the close cooperation and coordination between CRA and the Police, and sends a strong signal to anyone who conducts illegal activities within the casinos that such activities will not be tolerated."
