GE13: Penang police cripple election betting syndicate
Police here busted a syndicate taking bets on the outcome of the 13th general election following the arrest of six bookies.
The six men were picked up from Datuk Keramat, Paya Terubong and Relau around 5pm in an operation.
Also recovered were handphones, laptops and destop computers.
The six bookies allegedly accepted bets amounting up to RM1mil.
It is believed that punters would call the bookies to place their bets, before banking their bets into bookies' accounts.
Penang police general election spokesman Asst Comm Roslee Chik confirmed the arrests. |
