The Judiciary Police (PJ) arrested a man from the mainland on Wednesday for robbing a male compatriot of HK$130,000 in a flat used as an illegal inn in Nape, PJ spokesman Tam Weng Keong said during a special press conference yesterday.
Tam identified the suspect as a 36-year-old surnamed Tao.
Tam said that the Public Security Police (PSP) transferred the case to the Judiciary Police on Wednesday night.
At the scene, the victim told PJ officers that he came to Macau several months ago and borrowed HK$100,000 from several men in a casino so that he could gamble. The victim eventually gambled away all the money.
