The police have solved a casino theft case in which chips worth over HK$47 million were stolen on Tuesday, and two local men have been arrested, according to a statement by Judiciary Police (PJ) spokeswoman Yeung Sau Chan last night.
Security guards at a casino in Nape reported to PJ officers stationed there at 7 a.m. on Tuesday that a dealer working at a VIP room had stolen chips worth HK$47,895,000, according to a PJ press conference on Wednesday. The police did not name the casino.
According to reports circulating on the Internet, a male croupier working for a VIP club at Wynn Macau stole chips worth around HK$48 million from the gaming table where he was working on Tuesday, and then left the casino.
