Not surprised- there's an illegal casino (allegedly! :sleep:) operating in that area and they don't like intruders.

 

I and others have been chased out of there in the past. When I asked a senior official who is a friend why nothing could be done about it he said 'too powerful'.

 

My advice is steer clear of this area.
