Jungle jackpot busted: Hundreds nabbed in Sungai Buloh gambling raid
SUNGAI BULOH: Hundreds of gamblers, engaged in cockfighting and illegal lottery activities, were arrested during a raid by Bukit Aman's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in a wooded area near Melwood Arena, not far from Sungai Buloh Hospital. The operation, part of Op Dadu Mega, was carried out by a team from Bukit Aman's Anti-Vice, Gambling, and Secret Societies Division (D7) on Sunday. The raid followed surveillance that began in October last year, focusing on illegal gambling activities, specifically cockfighting, dice games, and unlicensed public lotteries, which had been believed to be ongoing for the past eight months. Bukit Aman CID deputy director (Intelligence/Operations) Datuk Fadil Marsus said that prior to the operation, the raiding team conducted aerial surveillance with the assistance of the Police Air Wing's Drone Unit to monitor gambling activities. This led to the ambush of the forested area, which had been transformed into a makeshift gambling arena.
