內地男子涉巨額詐騙被捕
本局日前偵破一宗涉及假籌碼的巨額詐騙案，拘留一名內地男子，並對兩名涉嫌經營不法匯兌的內地男女另行立案調查。
2026年6月20日凌晨，涉案內地男子在路氹城區一娛樂場搭訕兩名經營不法匯兌的男女事主。經協商，女事主及男事主分別同意以17,300元及34,600元人民幣，兌換2萬港元及4萬港元籌碼。兩名事主將款項匯入涉案男子指定的內地帳戶後，接收籌碼時發現有異，懷疑為假籌碼而拒收並引發爭執，驚動在場保安員報警，揭發案件。
本局博彩罪案調查處人員接報到場截獲該名涉案男子。調查顯示，涉案男子於6月19日晚經橫琴口岸入境後前往上述娛樂場，配戴耳機並按在逃同夥指示尋找不法兌換人士進行交易。本局人員在其身上搜獲15個面值1萬港元的偽造籌碼、1部手機及1對藍牙耳機。經鑑定，該批假籌碼缺乏鐳射貼紙，字體與顏色亦與真籌碼有別，而籌碼大小及重量與真籌碼相若。兩名事主共損失51,900元人民幣並表示追究。
本局根據調查所得，以詐騙（巨額）罪將該名涉案男子移送檢察院偵辦，並繼續追查在逃人士。
Mainland man arrested for massive fraud
A few days ago, the Judiciary Police cracked a case of massive fraud involving fake casino chips, wherein a mainland man was arrested, and an investigation into a separate case of operating illegal currency exchange was initiated against a mainland man and a mainland woman.
On the early morning of 20th June 2026 at a casino in the Cotai district, the involved mainland man approached the male and female victims who were operating illegal currency exchange. After negotiation, the female and male victims respectively agreed to exchange RMB17,300 and RMB34,600 for HKD20,000 and HKD40,000 of chips. After remitting the money to the involved man’s designated mainland account, the two victims collected the chips which were found unusual. When the suspected fake chips were rejected, a dispute broke out, alerting the on-site security guards to report to the police and bringing the case to light.
Officers from the Gaming-related Crimes Division of the Judiciary Police received the report and arrived at the scene, where the involved man was intercepted. Investigation revealed that the involved man had entered the territory through Hengqin Port on the night of June 19th before proceeding to the above casino. He wore earphones and was instructed by an accomplice at large, seeking illegal currency exchangers for transactions. The Judiciary Police officers found him in possession of 15 counterfeit chips with a denomination of HKD10,000, one mobile phone and a pair of Bluetooth earphones. After examination, this batch of chips lacked the laser markers, with fonts and colours different from the authentic chips, while the size and weight were similar to the authentic chips. The two victims suffered a loss of RMB51,900 in total and would pursue the case.
Based on the investigative results, the Judiciary Police transferred the involved man to the Public Prosecutions Office on the charge of (massive) fraud, while continuing to track down the fugitive.
