The Buzz | Three locals arrested for operating fake base station

Three local men have been arrested for operating a fake base station near the Border Gate, as announced last Friday by the Judiciary Police (PJ).

The suspects are aged 26, 29 and 30 years old. The PJ says that the case was first reported to the police back in April.

The PJ then found out that the group consisted of mainly local men, whereas the heads of the group are all located in Mainland China.

Police revealed that this marks the first time an operation was conducted inside vehicles.

During the investigation, the police inspected 11 residence units in Macau before they eventually detained the three suspects.

They claimed they were paid between MOP150 to MOP200 per day to send fake messages to people passing by their controlling area.
