SUNGAI BULOH : Police have  found 260 simulator machines believed to  be used for gambling in a raid at a store in Sungai Buloh  Kampung Baru, Selangor.

Selangor police chief, Datuk Mazlan Mansor said the raid  at 8.30am was based on intelligence  and viral information on social media sites.

He said from the inspection, it was found the machines were old disused equipment and were not new machines as disseminated via social sites.

“We will get the assistance  of the Customs   Department to  investigate whether all the items were licenced  or have valid permits as they could be used by some family entertainment centres,” he told  reporters after an inspection at the store.

He,  however, said  no arrests were  made as there was nobody at the store when the raid was conducted. 

Mazlan  also denied viral allegations that the authorities  failed to detect the gambling machines which would be sent to gambling premises nationwide.

Malaysia Crime Watch Task Force  (MyWatch) chairman, Datuk  R. Sri Sanjeevan  yesterday uploaded the status with pictures on Facebook which alleged police failed to detect the store for gambling machines.

Mazlan  said even  though police welcomed information from public  on any gambling activities  in Selangor, the people should also ensure the information disseminated were authentic.

According to him, 222 raids  had been carried out on gambling machine premises since May this year.- Bernama
