A mainlander was arrested on Wednesday for cheating four locals out of a total of 83,925 patacas by taking advantage of their sympathy, a Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesperson said yesterday during a regular press conference.

The spokesperson said the suspect, a 40-year-old man surnamed Ou, scammed a 26-year-old local engineer out of 40,990 patacas on Monday last week.

According to the spokesperson, the victim was walking in Nape when Ou approached him. Ou told the victim that he had gambled away all his money and wanted to borrow some cash from him.
