[webfact]

 

Police officers of Makkasan station reassigned following illegal drug raid at a Chinese nightclub in Bangkok‘s Petchaburi area. A committee has been formed by the Commander-in-chief of the Metropolitan Police Division 1 to investigate any potential misconduct and relevant benefits received by officers.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Athaphon Wongsiripri-da, the commander of the Metropolitan Police Division 1, issued transfer orders for Police Major Jirin Lamluek, the Makkasan Police station director, and Police Captain Punchrasmi Choti, the deputy investigation officer, to serve at the Center for Metropolitan Police Operations, effective immediately. The move follows a raid by the Department of Women and Child Welfare Police on an unlicensed nightclub in the Petchaburi area, where a large number of Chinese tourists were found consuming illegal drugs.
