Casino visitors arrested
One man stole phone after losing money; some caught trying to dodge $100 levy
IT HAS been four days since the casino at Resorts World Sentosa opened, and already eight people have ended up in trouble with the law.
The eight, including three foreigners, were among 86,000 people estimated to have streamed into the newly opened casino as of 6pm on Wednesday.
One was Paulus Djohar, a 49-year-old Indonesian who turned to theft when he gambled and lost all his money at the gaming tables.
Caught on Tuesday, he was jailed for four weeks yesterday.
The other two foreigners, arrested on Monday, were a pair of Mongolian friends aged 45 and 18. The younger man, a private student here and three years shy of 21, the minimum age for entry, allegedly used a passport belonging to the older man's son to get in.
Detained by casino staff, who called in the police, the duo are out on police bail while investigations are ongoing.
Committed the crime on Tuesday, got caught immediately and jailed the very next day. Has Singapore's justice system been so efficient all along?
