Illegal horse betting raids lead to 89 men being questioned in Singapore

Singapore has seen an island-wide clampdown on illegal horse betting, and a recent operation has led the police to identifying 89 men suspected of acting as bookmakers, runners and punters.

The suspects, aged between 34 and 87, are now being investigated for their involvement in illegal gambling activities. Ten are also being investigated under the Remote Gambling Act 2014, for offenses relating to the provision of unlawful remote gambling services.

A statement was made on Tuesday 22 February detailing a police raid in multiple locations across Singapore between 14 and 20 February, including areas such as Bedok, Beo Crescent, Marsiling, Jurong West, Telok Blangah Crescent and Toa Payoh.

During these raids, police seized more than $30,000 in cash, multiple mobile phones and documentation which included betting records.
