Syndicate gang members have been known to befriend casino patrons who are losing money and recommend the target that maybe he or she will have more luck at another casino.

A Singaporean Ms Wu Yan was kidnapped last week and was rescued after a security guard in Manila spotted her leg wriggling outside an apartment door of Bayview International Towers as she was being pulled back.

When the police entered the room at 9.45am, they saw most of the 14 syndicate members still asleep.

Police arrested 45 suspects who are between 25 and 35 years old.

Before she was kidnapped, Ms Wu was gambling at the Solaire Resort and Casino in Pasay City. According to the police, Ms Wu was being watched and tailed for 3 days.

A male friend in Singapore alerted the Philippines police after he received a phone call from the kidnappers demanding a ransom of US$180,000 (S$246,000).
