Gambling Men At Airport Arrested For Illegal Activity

Gambling is becoming so popular around the world that people are now taking the liberty of gambling in public. Even in places where gambling is illegal, there is wagering going on.

Four men were gambling in the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport openly. The openness of the gambling activity led to a tip that police received. the men were later arrested.

Dominoes appeared to be the game of choice after police seized a set from the men. Authorities also confiscated large amounts of cash from the men upon arresting them.

"I suspect they are professional gamblers. they put in a lot of money as the stake. all of them drove Mercedes Benz cars to the airport," said Taufik Hidayat, the airport police detective chief inspector. The gambling took place at the Swarna Golf Course restaurant.

The men are now looking at a maximum sentence of four years in jail if they are convicted of the crime. They will be charged with violating the Criminal Code on gambling. The men's names were not yet released, but they were said to be Indonesian.
