Police arrested 54 people for allegedly gambling on an illegal cockfight in the central Nghe An Province on Saturday.
Around a hundred police stormed a farm in the province’s capital Vinh at about 2 p.m. on Saturday and arrested the gamblers. They also seized 25 fighting cocks, VND230 million (nearly $10,000), cars and motorbikes.
According to police, it had taken more than a month to track down the gambling ring, which often changes locations to avoid detection.
