"On Thursday, a 36-year-old woman was observed by casino staff wearing a small, discrete camera attached to her shirt, a police spokesperson said. Officers were notified and attended the casino, where they arrested the woman and her 44-year-old husband. Investigators allege the couple were carrying small, magnetised probes, batteries, and a mobile phone with a fitted attachment that allowed the camera function of the phone to discreetly view, capture or record images."
"Over the course of October and November, the pair visited the casino multiple times, winning a total of $1.18m, which raised suspicions at Crown, police alleged. With their mobile phones capturing images of the table, the pair communicated using deep-seated earpieces through which they received instructions to wager on various card games and ultimately cheat the casino, NSW police alleged on Sunday."
A married couple from Kazakhstan allegedly used a tiny hidden camera in a Mickey Mouse T-shirt and deep-seated earpieces to cheat at Sydney’s Crown casino. Casino staff observed a discrete camera on a 36-year-old woman, prompting police attendance and the arrest of her and her 44-year-old husband in Barangaroo. Investigators allege the pair carried magnetised probes, batteries, a mobile phone attachment and a custom mirror to capture table images and relay instructions. The couple reportedly won $1.18m across multiple visits in October and November after applying for Crown memberships on arrival. They were charged with dishonestly obtaining financial advantage.
