<\/a><\/p>\nMABALACAT CITY, Pampanga\u2014Complaints of illegal gambling have been filed against 14 Chinese men recently arrested in Angeles City for allegedly playing poker, authorities said on Tuesday (Aug. 31).<\/p>\n
Col. Norberto Delmas, Criminal Investigation and Detection Group-Region 3 (CIDG-3) officer, told the Inquirer over the phone that they recently received several complaints about \u201cnoisy Chinese men\u201d gambling almost every night on the second floor of a convenience store building along Friendship Highway in Barangay Pampang.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we conducted a surveillance operation to verify the reports. And it turned out that it was true, that there were indeed Chinese men playing poker. So we decided to raid the place, along with the city police,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The raid was conducted around 2:30 a.m. on Aug. 29 and the complaints were filed with the Angeles City Prosecutor’s Office on Monday, Delmas said.<\/p>\n
A separate statement from the Police Regional Police Office 3 (PRO3) identified the arrested suspects as Harry Zhang, Frank Wang, Harry Wung, David Wang, Abu Deng, Abu Yang Jin, James Zhang, Zhou Bin, Yang Bing, Zho Ya, Lan Mi, Lao Hai Ping, Jacky Lau, and Henry Yuan.<\/p>\n
A poker table, P15,000 cash, seven packs of poker cards, two cases of assorted coin chips, and a money counting machine were confiscated from the suspects.<\/p>\n
Delmas said the arrested suspects were brought to the CIDG-Angeles City detention center.<\/p>\n
The PRO3 said the service firearms of \u201cprivate bodyguards\u201d were also confiscated for verification purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
