Five Lam Luk Ka police officers abruptly transferred after casino raid

 

 

The superintendent of Lam Luk Ka police station and four of his subordinates were today (Feb 9) ordered transferred to inactive posts at the Operations Centre of Provincial Police Region 1 following a casino raid in Lam Luk Ka district, Pathum Thani province late yesterday night.

 

The five officers are Pol Col Arthorn Chinthong, the superintendent; Pol Lt-Col Chumphol Pisonkulapant, the deputy superintendent for suppression; Pol Lt-Col Chomphob Rujiradamrongchai, the deputy superintendent for investigation; Pol Lt-Col Vicharn Chanthasri, the inquiry inspector; and Pol Maj Thanaphon Suksorn, the suppression inspector.

 

The abrupt transfer stemmed from a raid by military personnel of a snooker parlour, Phoenix Snooker, which was in fact a front of an illegal casino.  A total of 118 gamblers–60 men and 58 women–were rounded up together with almost 200,000 baht cash and gambling equipment.

That should give them ample time to establish and organize a new venue since they won't have to perform any other duties.  From my observations it is clear that most BIB officers are 'inactive' already!

Must have been a really up-scale fancy casino:  A total of 118 gamblers–60 men and 58 women–were rounded up together with almost 200,000 baht cash and gambling equipment. 

 

The gambling equipment aside, Bt200,000 divided by 118 gamblers is 1695 per gambler....

 

a lot of toes got stepped on on this one

Can't believe it the keystone cops are at it again

Funny how they casually say "...5 cops transfered"...what, you mean a colonel, 3 lieutenant colonels and a major or to put it more frankly "the entire senior commanding police officers of an entire area/district." Rotten to the core.
