The Judiciary Police (PJ) have detained a mainland civil servant who admitted bringing his 16-year-old nephew across the border to take drugs in a hotel in Cotai, where they also arrested two other mainlanders, one for possession of fake documents and the other for loan sharking.
A PJ spokesperson said in a press conference on Saturday the four male suspects included a 45-year-old civil servant surnamed Wang and his 16-year-old nephew surnamed Shen on suspicion of taking drugs.
The two other suspects in the hotel room were identified by the spokesperson as a 35-year-old man surnamed Zhou who was detained for possession of forged documents, and a 52-year-old man surnamed Li who was detained for loan sharking. Both men told the police that they were unemployed.
