Married GROs caught. These GROs are Married or they went through Marriages of Convenience ??
GEORGE TOWN: At least six men turned up at the Patani Road police station claiming that their wives were among 28 foreign guest relations officers (GROs) arrested during a raid at an entertainment outlet here yesterday.
The men came with marriage certificates, hoping to secure the release of the women from police custody but were turned away.
A police spokesman said they were detaining the women under the Immigration Act for 14 days to facilitate investigations.
Police, he said, would also investigate and question the men who claimed the foreign women were their wives.
“We will check the authenticity of the marriage certificates and other pertinent documents,” he said.
In the latest raid codenamed Ops Noda, State CID chief Senior Asst Comm I (SAC I) Datuk Wan Abdullah Tuanku Said said 28 foreign women were rounded up at an entertainment outlet in Madras Lane.
Also nabbed during the 12.25am raid was a 36-year-old female caretaker.
The GROs – 22 Chinese nationals, four Indonesians and two Vietnamese – were busy entertaining customers when police raided the premises.
SAC I Wan Abdullah said the women, all in their 20s and 30s, were without valid documents and had overstayed in the country.
He said police were also looking for the outlet owner.
