A senior officer in the state police said the syndicate was believed to have been operating in the area for the last month and turning over RM200,000 in bets per day.
Sheets of fax paper showing numbers believed to be illegal lottery draws, 11 facsimile machines, four laptops, two cell phones and other paraphernalia were seized in the raid, said the authorities.
In a separate police operation in the state, officers detained three people aged from 20 to 36 on suspicion of involvement in an unlicensed online betting operation.
