Two-Up Gambling Case Attracts Telescope Evidence
Police used a telescope to witness two-up games behind Mackett’s stall in a sand hill area. Defendants Turner and Green claimed they were playfully tossing pennies for months near Kemp’s bank, while witnesses placed them under surveillance and at the scene with a telescope. Several arrests followed as investigators connected the telescope sighting to the betting activity and police inquiries.
