THE Government is treating the prevention and suppression of online scams and online gambling as a national duty, for their harmful impact on the socioeconomic lives of people both locally and around the world. It is also cooperating with neighbouring countries to identify, arrest and take action against those involved in such illegal activities.
Acting on a tip-off about online scamming and gambling operations in Kehsi Township, Shan State (South), joint teams comprising security personnel conducted investigations and searches.
At around 2 pm yesterday, the teams arrested 15 illegal Chinese nationals involved in online scamming and gambling activities at a site about 2,500 metres south of Naungwoo Village in Kehsi Township. The seized items included two temporary accommodation huts measuring 40 feet by 20 feet each, a temporary workshop measuring 40 feet by 30 feet, a temporary kitchen, a water tank, one generator, one freezer, two standing fans, six routers, two all-in-one computers, two Starlink devices, 40 mobile phones and 40 plastic chairs.
The arrestees will face strict legal action in accordance with existing laws after the necessary investigations are completed. The seized equipment will also be arranged in accordance with established procedures.
