Eight mainlanders were caught on Tuesday for alleged loan sharking in casinos in Cotai, a Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesperson said yesterday.
According to the spokesperson, all the suspects, including two females, are members of a criminal gang in Jiangxi province. The suspects are aged from 27 to 45.
The spokesperson said when the Public Security Police (PSP) were investigating an alleged illegal inn case in a residential flat in Taipa on Tuesday, they chanced upon the suspects, a number of identification documents and I.O.U. slips. Suspecting the documents were related to loan sharking, the PSP referred the case to the Judiciary Police.
