Authorities Arrest Illegal STL Bet Collectors in Quezon City
The police authorities in Lucena City and Lopez town in Quezon province arrested at least three illegal STL bet collectors.
On Thursday (September 5, 2019), the police reported that three suspected bet collectors of an illegal operator of Small Town Lottery (STL) have been arrested in the province of Quezon on Wednesday (September 4).
On Wednesday morning, the anti-illegal gambling operatives arrested Bernadette Dalisay while collecting bets at Barangay Market View in Lucena City while other suspects identified as Arvin Moises Giducos and Ernesto Oprecio have been arrested Barangay Gomez for illegally collecting STL bets.
The authorities recovered money bets, paraphernalia, and STL bet collection forms from the suspects. The culprits failed to present legit IDs from Pirouette Gaming Corp, which is the licensed STL operator in the province.
The illegal bet collectors violated the Republic Act 9287 (An Act Increasing The Penalties for Illegal Numbers Game, Amending Certain Provision of Presidential Act 1602 and for Other Purposes) and will face corresponding charges.
President Rodrigo Duterte lifted the STL ban last August 22, 2019 and the STL operation in the province resumed on September 1 (Sunday).
