A man who authorities had been searching for over the past two months was caught after he was found performing a trick at a dice game in a local casino.
During yesterday’s police press conference, agents described how, without being spotted by the casino staff, the man somehow placed a bet of HKD1,100 after the dice had been rolled, illegally winning fifty times more than the original bet (HKD55,000).
After checking the CCTV system to verify the facts that occurred on September 10, casino staff noticed the trick and pressed charges.
On the night of December 3, the same man was finally caught by the PJ when trying a similar trick in another casino. The second attempt failed and he was taken into custody by the authorities. The investigation revealed that the man had also illegally entered the territory due to the fact he had previously been banned for a period of seven years. He was charged with aggravated fraud and illegal entry and was presented to Public Prosecutions Office (MP).
In another case reported by the Judiciary Police (PJ), a couple visiting from mainland China was allegedly robbed in a lodging while they were asleep. On the night of December 5, the mainland residents lost several of their possessions that included cash in Hong Kong Dollars and Renminbi, and two gold coins, totaling a loss of about MOP98,000.
During the investigation that followed the complaint, the PJ found out that the couple had been staying in an illegal inn in the Rua de Xangai. They had no idea who might have granted access to their room and stated that they had booked it in mainland China through an intermediary for MOP500 per night. The PJ couldn’t find any signs of breaking and entering, and there are currently no suspects.
one infraction leads to others
A 19 year-old Macau resident was stopped by a police patrol in the Horta e Costa district yesterday at around 5 am. The police found it suspicious that the motorcycle he was seated on looked like it had been recently damaged. Questioned by the officers and due to the clear smell of alcohol, the man was given a Breathalyzer test that resulted in him being found 1.79g/l over the limit. In the process of investigations he was also found to be in of possession an extendible metallic baton that he could not justify possessing, advancing only that had bought it in Gongbei. Since he could not present any documentation to the officers, they also searched his record and found he did not possess any valid driving license and he was a repeat unlicensed driving offender.
