Five Filipinos, five males and one female, have been
released on police bail one day after being arrested on May 23 for illegal gambling in
North Point.
A mainland Chinese man with a two-way permit who was
arrested along with the Filipinos was also released on May 24 following an
initial investigation.
A spokesman from the Police Public Relations Bureau said
those arrested were instructed to report again to the police late next month.
The six, aged from 30 to 53, were found playing on arcade
machines when a special duty unit at the Eastern Police District raided a flat
on Bank Tower
Also arrested was a 30-year-old Hong
Kong man for allegedly operating the illegal gambling
establishment.
The officers acted after receiving tips-off and conducting a
thorough surveillance.
A Filipino male and female who could not provide any
identity documents during the raid were also booked for failing to show their Hong Kong identity cards, the spokesman said.
Local reports said two fishing machines and about $2,500 in
cash, a card reader machine and a pack of gaming cards were seized from the
gambling den.
