Singapore police arrested a total of 35 people for gambling offences, in two unrelated cases. The first one 11 men, aged 21 to 38, got arrested for alleged offences under the Common Gambling Houses Act, said an official statement.
It added that the arrests followed a raid on October 17 at an office within an industrial building, that had allegedly been operating as an illegal gambling den.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that a 32-year-old man purportedly operated the gambling den, with two men, aged 21 and 38 respectively, assisting in the management of the illegal operations,” the police stated.
Under Singapore’s Common Gambling Houses Act, any person found managing or assisting in managing a common gambling house is liable to a fine of up to SGD50,000 (US$36,884) and imprisonment of up to three years.
In the second one, the Singapore police arrested 23 men and a woman, aged between 46 and 76, also for gambling offences. Cash amounting to SGD8,300 (US$6,123) was seized. Those arrests were linked to a five-day enforcement operation conducted by Singapore’s Central Police Division. The operation targeted illegal gambling and vice activities.
