Pattaya: Shooting incident at luxury house connected to online gambling - cop still in coma

[webfact]

Picture: Daily News

 

Daily News reported that RTP chief Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk wanted to "check bin" on the incident at a luxury house in Pattaya on Wednesday in which two of his men were shot.

 

In this sense he meant that he wanted to leave no stone unturned in prosecuting and getting to the bottom of the case. 

 

Suwat said that 8 foreigners had been inside the house when officers arrived to serve a search warrant in connection with online gambling. 

 

One has been charged with attempting to murder a state official and weapons offences. Computers have been taken into evidence. 

 

All those inside are being checked by the Immigration Bureau. 

 

The Crime Suppression Division are assisting the local police. 

 

In another report Daily News said the shooter was Jang Yang, aged 34. 

 

In their headline they suggested that one of the officers had a ruptured lung and spleen.

 

Pol Capt Phanthep Sribunnak remains in a coma. Pol Sen Sgt Maj 

Kreetha Thipnet was also injured though reports yesterday said he was already out of danger. 

 

The house at the Phoneix Country Club in Huay Yai is being kept under close watch and three luxury automobiles including a Rolls Royce are still there. 

 

A video on YouTube showed operations by commandos with high power rifles entering the property as what appeared to be local residents looked on from outside.

The response from those in the house was very excessive,

maybe they should have tried a bribe, before opening fire.

In this case it seems that the owner of the house lost the patronage and protection of some thai big-wig that have culminated in the police storming the house, maybe it's because he forgot pay his dues, who know...

A misleading/troll post has been removed

Just as well it was an operation involving foreign gamblers. There aren’t enough police in the country to go after the Thai gambling dens.

They have been stamped OK pending 28 days 'Under consideration?

Check bin and no stone unturned the general has been in the drug cabinet again ????

Is that a Mercedes Benz G-Wagon in police livery at the start of that video?

Wow! They are in the region of $150,000 I believe.  Hands down beats a smart BMW.

 

Hope the injured cops get well. No one deserves that doing their job.

Looks more like a Thairung, cheap copy

A Mercedes Benz....? 
Put your drinks back in the locker now Phetphet ????????????

 

That is a Thairung Transformer built on a Toyota Hilux body. You’d probably put this car out of action with a paintball gun or some broken glass on the road. 
But hey, It’s the S.Q.U.A.T teams choice of vehicle.   Safety was after all never an issue in thai ????????

 

Without a doubt a fugly little look a like beast it is. 
 

Thairung probably built it to protect noodle shop CEO’s.

Very likely they panicked, therefore reason would not have prevailed. 

[Jonathan Swift]

It would seem that bulletproof vests were not used by those serving the warrant. Gunshot to the lung and spleen would likely have been prevented. I hope the police review their protocols for such things. I sure hope he recovers.

And people in very very high places who benefit would never allow  the big established ones get raided anyway.

[Bradmeister]

A leader, I believe a General can't identify the perpatrators,  whom shot and injured at least 2 of his men? 

 

The best he can say is: Foreigners?

THE JAPAN RED ARMY ?  RADICAL MUSLIM GROUPS FROM SYRIA?  Nicaraguan Insurgents from San Salvador???  North Korean Spies? 

 

 

AGAIN, FOREIGNERS MEANS NOTHING!

shouldn't this rather read "were shot at..." instead of "were shot"?

No. They were shot at and they were shot. One seriously, one less so. If someone is shot at and hit and injured, how do you think that should be written?

[thailandheron]

The cops hung around the front of the house for I bet 30 minutes before entering. That gave the people inside plenty of time to hide what ever they wanted.

[Thingamabob]

As always it appears we are not getting the full story. Some reports say that at least two of the people in the house got away, or were allowed to get away. Sad for the police who got shot. They are just pawns in a much bigger game.

Strange, I've always assosiated "Check bin" as payback....

 

[MoversandShakers]

This group is well known in Pattaya

[BernieOnTour]

Well... 

 

If these chinese gambling den owners are so dangerous- then I really do not understand,

why not only the police men are standing without any cover directly in front of the villa, just a few meters away 

and that they let also civilian bystanders watch in such a short distance.

 

And - I have no idea about modern SWAT team tactics ...

 

However, if we would have moved like that in our basic training in the Army many years ago,

not really coordinating among each other,

leaving so many sectors totally uncovered,

we would have been into many hours of overtime... forget your weekend leave! 555

 

... just my 10 shillings...

Eight "foreigners". Amazing no nationality given.
