The police also busted a shop in Taipa which allegedly served as a workshop that modified POS machines smuggled from the mainland, so that they could be used in Macau.
According to the Judiciary Police, 40 PJ officers, in collaboration with five officials from the Macau Monetary Authority (AMCM), searched 13 shops in Zape, Taipa and Cotai yesterday, and found that eight shops were involved in the illegal use of UnionPay cards by providing bogus cash transactions for clients.
