Overall crime has successfully been fought in Singapore over the last year despite the opening last February and April 2010 of two new casino resorts in the city-state of Singapore.

Casino Crime update

Two further casino complex resorts were opened respectively in February and April of 2010. The two main natures of crime reported in the casinos in 2010 were regarding cheating and theft. These included casino chip theft and petty theft, while the cheating cases consisted mainly of cheating at the casino tables or cases of impersonation where casino customers used false identity documents in order to gain entrance to the casino. Following investigation, these cases appeared to be isolated and not related to organized crime syndicates.
