PETALING JAYA: Police have busted a lottery counting centre located in a condominium in Kota Damansara which has been taking about RM3mil in bets monthly.

OCPD Asst Comm Mazlan Mansor said seven people, including four women, all between 20 and 35 years, were detained.

He said the centre could be part of a syndicate operating in Kota Damansara for the past month.

“The suspects were in the midst of tabulating the bets when the police team moved in.

“Bets were being tabulated via the telephone, faxes and on-line,” he told reporters yesterday.

Eight laptops, two fax machines, a printer, two landline telephones, five mobile phones and 11 calculators were seized at the scene, ACP Mazlan said.
