Kazakhstan couple arrested in Australia over casino scam

Australian police have arrested a husband and wife from Kazakhstan who are suspected to have fraudulently won over 6 million Hong Kong dollars in a Sydney casino.

New South Wales Police said the couple made multiple visits to Crown Sydney over the past two months.

The 36-year-old woman raised suspicion last Thursday after she was found to be wearing a small spycam attached to her shirt.

She and her 44-year-old husband allegedly used mobile phones and deep-seated earpieces to rig games and cheat the casino.

Police searched the pair and found magnetised probes and a mirror attachment - the spying devices that allowed them to capture and view images of the table.

They were charged with dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception and refused bail.
