SURREY – Police have arrested four people in Vancouver in connection with an alleged cheating scheme that defrauded a local casino of more than $200,000.
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.
Police say they are pursuing charges that include cheating at play, possession of proceeds obtained by crime and impersonation.
They say the investigation into the case is ongoing.
