Four people were arrested after allegedly stealing over $200,000 from a Vancouver casino following a tip from the regulator.Summary
The investigation began on May 4 when the Independent Gambling Control Office raised concerns about suspected cheating at Parq Casino in downtown Vancouver. Police were brought in within hours, and the following day, two men and two women were arrested. A search of the individuals uncovered about $330,000 in cash, which investigators believe are the proceeds of crime. All four have since been released. Police are recommending charges of cheating at play, possession of proceeds obtained by crime, and uttering forged documents/impersonation. Officials noted that early detection and co-ordinated action between the regulator and police enabled a rapid response.
