Twenty-six Chinese nationals caught in a gambling sting in Tonga remain in custody, police say.
A police spokesperson said they faced charges of "gambling on a Sunday" but no other charges at this time.
The Drugs Enforcement Taskforce arrested 17 men and 9 women on Sunday and seized cash worth more than $US38,000.
Police also confiscated five pistol air guns in the raid as well as illegal cigarettes.
The spokesperson said the 26 were due in the Magistrate's Court this afternoon.
They had been in custody for four days and would ask for bail, the spokesperson said.
