webfact Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Another tip from the public leads to 15 arrests at Chonburi gambling den Picture:: Daily News Chonburi provincial police and officers from the Samed station in Muang District surprised 15 Thai and foreign employees who were running the CCTV cameras for an illegal online High-Low gambling operation at business premises yesterday. The raid followed a tip from a member of the public, said Samed station chief Pol Col Chanachai Kasemwong. Arrested were 10 Thais, three Cambodians and 2 Laotians - they were charged with gambling offences, violating the emergency decree and in some cases illegal entry to Thailand. Various equipment including dice was taken into evidence. One suspect said he had come from the south to work and was paid 500 baht a day. The High-Low part of the business was netting the owner 500,000 to 600,000 baht a day with 50 to 60 people playing daily. Chanachai said that this form of gambling was particularly bad because punters were defrauded by camera trickery. The arrests yesterday were the start of the investigation that will be expanded. Picture:: Daily News He urged the public to keep the calls coming in. Last weekend a gambling den was busted in a well publicized raid in Jomtien in the Pattaya area after a first tip from a member of the public. Gambling has increasingly come under the spotlight in Thailand due to the spread of Covid-19, notes Thaivisa.

The guy on the right 2/10, its more a vague wave, not really a point. Good to see the point returning to these arrest stories. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Not much else to congratulate these photo-cops other than their pointing; no police work, merely acting on a tip. JK Rowling should write a sequel to the Harry Potter series called 'RTP and the Amazing Invisibility Cloak'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Oh, the police just love these kind of raids where the scoop the dosh back with them and some,(more then some) always get misplaced somehow... in the words of Mel Brooks 'its good to be a policeman in Thailand'...

smedly Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 with all the money involved there is very obviously other illegal activities connected to these joints like perhaps drug dealing - how are punters able to part with 500,000 baht a day ????
