The Macao police have nabbed a suspect who allegedly had 198 bogus 100-US-dollar bills, local media reported Monday.
The Macao Post Daily quoted police sources as saying that the suspect, who holds Chinese mainland travel documents, was detained at a local casino on Saturday following his efforts to purchase gaming chips using 100 of the forged notes.
The 38-year-old suspect has been transferred to the Public Prosecution for further investigations and possible arraignment on counterfeit currency charges, the Daily said.
