PHUKET:-- Police have confirmed they will press charges against the ’owner’ of a store in Chalong for hiring 15 foreigners without work permits.

 

Eleven Russians are among the foreigners arrested at the Erawadee outlet on Chao Fa West Rd just south of Wat Chalong during a raid carried out by Phuket Tourist Police and Phuket Immigration Police last Wednesday Feb 20.

 

Chalong Police Chief Col Pakkayot Tanongsak told The Phuket News today (Feb 28), “The owner of the store is still under questioning and has not yet been charged. I cannot reveal details around charges until the investigation is complete.”
