[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A group involved in running an illegal gambling site and conducting illegal gambling worth around 10 million won was caught by the police at a private residence in Seoul.

On the 21st, the Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul announced that they have booked and are investigating 11 people, including the operator A (65), on charges of gambling and operating an illegal gambling site.

They are suspected of opening an illegal gambling site at a private residence in Singil-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, on the 18th, where they engaged in gambling called 'baccarat'.

The police, who responded to a report that illegal gambling was taking place, found it suspicious that there were closed-circuit televisions (CCTV) covering both entrances despite it being a private residence, and raided the gambling site.

The police arrested all of them on the spot as caught-in-the-act suspects and seized about 10 million won in cash, gambling chips, and other tools used in the crime.
