VietNamNet Bridge - After snaring fool gambling with a Japanese tourist in Hanoi and being hunted, two Filipino people fled to Ho Chi Minh City and they were arrested there.

HCM City police have handed over two Filipino defendants, Marcos Alberto Olitoquit and Shery Baloicanas Rosaldo, to Hanoi police. The two defendants are accused of "swindling to appropriate property."

These people had been hunted by Hanoi police from September 17, 2012, for snaring fool gambling to appropriate assets of a Japanese tourist.

According to the police, Marcos Alberto Olitoquit and Shery Baloicanas Rosaldo entered Vietnam for traveling. On April 2012, while wandering the streets of Hanoi, they met with a Japanese tourist, Mr. Yamaguchi Takanori.

The two Filipinos invited Mr. Yamaguchi Takanori to a house in Lane 126, Doc Ngu Street, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi.

Here they solicited Mr. Yamaguchi Takanori to play cards for money and the Japanese visitor agreed. They gambled all night. At nearly 2am, the two Filipinos proposed that all three players put their property and cards into an aluminum box, seal it and would play cards again after sleeping. Mr. Yamaguchi Takanori agreed and placed over $12,000, one mobile phone and other assets into the box.

The next morning, Yamaguchi Takanori found out the aluminum tank being opened and his money disappeared. The two Filipino were not in the house. The Japanese visitor reported the case to the police. After investigation, the Hanoi police issued a special warrant against Marcos Alberto Olitoquit and Shery Baloicanas for swindling to appropriate property.

After that the two Filipinos went to HCM City and intended to continue swindling foreign tourists by fool gambling. But when they did not promptly perform crime, they were arrested by the Ho Chi Minh City police.
