Macau police in crackdown on gang warfare
Macau police have cracked down on gang warfare that is being compared to the bad old days in the gambling mecca
Macau police arrested 150 people during raids on casinos and hotels after a series of murders.
The operation, named Thunderbolt 2012, came after three unsolved murders and an attack on a casino hotel boss, which revived memories of the former Portuguese colony’s past troubles with gang-related crime.
Triads, Chinese criminal gangs, were common in the late 1990s.
The raids came after a gang of six people armed with hammers reportedly assaulted Ng Man-sun, a major investor at the Greek Mythology Casino, an operation owned by gaming tycoon Stanley Ho’s SJM Holdings.
That assault, according to Channel News Asia, was followed by the murder of a mainland Chinese woman at a residential area near a casino, and the killing of two Chinese men at the Grand Lapa Hotel, which is operated by Mandarin Oriental International.
