An alleged small town lottery collector was nabbed at Lopez Jaena Street, Barangay 31, Bacolod City, on Thursday, October 13.
The suspect was identified as Gilberto Onde, who was arrested by operatives of the National Bureau of Investigation-Bacolod for using a fake Identification card.
NBI Bacolod chief Renoir Baldovino said there is only one licensed STL operator in the province, the Super Lucky Beagler Inc.
Recovered from the suspect was the alleged bet money. Charges have been filed against him.
Meanwhile, cases were filed against Joevel Espora and Liczl Rentoy for alleged STL operations in Sipalay City, and Dinah Katalbas Surigao and Liezel Trembol for reportedly being operators of illegal STL in Binalbagan, which was said to be still running.
The owners of the commercial space that were leased by the suspects were not charged after they cooperated with authorities.*
