Police have arrested four people in Vancouver in connection with an alleged cheating scheme that defrauded a local casino of more than $200,000 [US$145,000].
B.C.’s Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit that targets gangs and organized crime says in a statement that the arrests were made on May 5, a day after the investigation began.
Few details have been released on the scheme, but police say the investigation began due to the discovery of suspected cheating at play at a Vancouver casino by the Independent Gambling Control Office.
The two men and two women arrested have been released pending charge approval, and police say about $330,000 in cash was seized during a search of the suspects’ belongings.
