A man from the mainland has been arrested for robbing a gambler in a casino, Public Security Police (PSP) spokesman Lei Chan Hong said in a regular press conference yesterday.
The suspect in his thirties is surnamed Mu.
According to Lei, a PSP officer saw Mu running along Rua de Xangai and found his actions suspicious. The officer intercepted Mu in Rua de Pequim. Under questioning, Mu confessed that he had robbed a male mainland visitor of HK$11,000 worth of casino chips while the victim was gambling at a casino in Zape.
Mu has been transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office (MP), facing a robbery charge.
