Police break up major gambling ring, seize over $400,000
After putting the gang under watch for a period, the police, assisted by
forces from the central police department, moved in with 100 officers,
simultaneously raiding 13 premises. They caught bookies taking billions of
dong in bets. The 14 offenders confessed they were bookies working for a
major gang with close connections with betting firms abroad. The police said
some of the arrested men were skilled at using computers and were in charge
of classifying and summing up bets before sending them abroad. The gang's
clients were from the city and nearby provinces. The 13 offices in districts
10, Binh Thanh, Phu Nhuan, and Thu Duc were all well-equipped with
high-speed Internet, LCD monitors, and laptops, the police said. They are
continuing with their investigations.
