Police say thieves plague Chinatown mob gambling sites TSE 'We do have information that Tse may be coming this way. There is no question they Tse and Mo will meet up. The question is where and dered a retrial in Mo's case. During the 1983 Hong Kongi summit, which authorities have compared to the 1957 Mafia meet-, ings in Apalachin, N.Y., Mo and, others allegedly conferred witb, Lau Wing-keung, head of trje' Kung Lok triad, which is one pf the four largest triads in Hong Kong. I Lau was deported from Canada I in 1977 for his criminal Hill said.

his mid-30s, was sentenced last May to four years in prison in connection with the robbery of a promoter who had apparently defied the monopoly and scheduled the appearance of a Chinese singer. "Danny wanted $20,000, and when he didn't get it, he had someone rob the tickets to the event," said Hill. That "someone" testified against Mo last spring, but Hill said a judge earlier this month or in bringing Asian entertainers to North America. Law enforcement authorities differ on whether Tse was present at the 1983 summit. However, it was Tse's refusal to answer questions about his role in the 1983 meetings that landed him in jail for contempt.

Mo's role in the alleged Asian entertainment monopoly led to his arrest last spring. Hill said. Hill said Mo. who like Tse is in Sgt.

"We do have information that Tse may be coming this way," Hill said in an interview. "There is no question they will meet up. The question is where and when. "They have to decide what to do with the Vietnamese who have been robbing them in both Toronto and Boston," Hill said. "The Vietnamese have been robbing all the card games." According to Boston area law enforcement officials, robbers have held up gambling operations controlled by the Ping On with such frequency in recent months that the Ping On have been forced to move many nighttime games to daytime and to increase the number of "floating" games, which change locations routinely.

Three months ago, Toronto police raided a gambling house in that city. "The man who opened the door told us he was relieved that we were police because there had been so many robberies," Hill said. Tse is alleged to have risen to power in the late 1970s by opening his own gambling and extortion operations in defiance of Chinese fraternal organizations, known as "tongs," that had controlled gambling and other criminal activity in Chinatown. Law enforcement officials contend Tse accomplished this by enlisting scores of Hong Kong-born criminals who were more ruthless than youths who had acted as enforcers for the tongs. Authorities here and in Can Easter is Sunday, Make this Easter a glorious occasion for family and friends.

An unorganized element "We have very strict gun laws here, so the Chinese gangs are not so prone to be walking around with weapons," said Hill. "The Vietnamese gangs just don't care. Jail is no deterrent to them; they've told us it's preferable to life in Vietnam.

We've had one suspect say it doesn't matter if you get shot, it's where you get shot." However, authorities in Canada and Boston said the Vietnamese criminal element is unorganized. Hill said law enforcement officials are concerned that Mo and Tse will try to solve their own problems by promising "to act as the cohesive force for the unorganized Vietnamese," thereby creating a new triad, an Asian organized crime group. Authorities in Canada and the United States say there is a strong relationship between the Ping On and Kung Lok, particularly because of the friendship between Tse and Mo. Hill said that at one point. Tse and Mo performed the ceremony of "burning the yellow paper," which signifies an agreement of understanding between the two gangs.

Hill said a reputed associate of the Ping On was recently spotted in Toronto. The man. DaCheng Mai, who is wanted on charges of assault with intent to murder in connection with an incident on Harrison Avenue in Chinatown, remains a fugitive.
