Police raid finds hundreds of slot machines in Surin warehouse

By THE NATION

 

 

Police on Friday confiscated 314 slot machines hidden in a warehouse in Surin province.

 

 

The raid was in line with the National Police chief’s policy to deal with gambling machines and dens in rural areas.

 

Police had been informed that slot machines were hidden in a suspicious warehouse, located in Surin’s Chom Phra district. The officials asked the Surin Provincial Court for a search warrant before raiding the premises.

 

In the warehouse, the officials found 314 machines and over 300 circuit boards. The warden of the warehouse was identified as “Chop”.

 

Initial inspection showed that a wealthy person, identified as "Mr. B", had ordered his subordinates to bring the machines and store them in this warehouse.

 

Police said the machines had not been used in Surin, but they did not know where they had come from.

 

Police said that related persons would be initially charged with hiding or buying illegal products.

I think "Mr. B" will not be found, and will escape any punishment (wealthy person).

And "Chop" will face severe penalties, taking the full blame for the machines being there !

Can one assume that they "found" the machines easily, as they moved them there

A suspicious warehouse wow, what on earth is a suspicious warehouse? The mind boggles just thinking about that.

Waiting to be sold/delivered to Cambodia or Laos ?

I hope the Police dust all the machines and circuit boards for finger prints, and bring the associated persons to justice.

Only identified as Mr B.. who has subordinates, must be up the ladder quite a way, but will he be taken down a rung or two ?

Definitely no mask, which is why it was suspicious.
