A man is being held in police custody for allegedly selling legally registered mobile phone SIM cards without requiring customer identification documents.

 

Armed with a search warrant, issued by the Samut Prakan provincial court, officers from the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) searched a house in an estate on the Srinagarind-Bang Na road in Bang Phli, belonging to 38-year-old “Direk”, a SIM card dealer for a mobile phone company.

 

The police found 340 legally-registered SIM cards and parcels ready to be delivered to customers.

 

CCIB officers said that they bought a SIM card online from Direk, received the card in a package and sought a warrant to search his house.
