The Commander of the Chonburi Provincial Police, Pol. Maj. Gen. Thawatchakiat Jindakornsanoong, has signed the order on October 12, to transfer Police Sub-Inspector Aisoon Dathong, Deputy Investigator of Najomtien Police Station, to Chonburi Provincial Police headquarters amid allegations of orchestrating a major theft. The move follows the arrest of four suspects in a theft case involving the stealing of heavy machinery worth nearly 10 million baht.

 

The case, which surfaced on October 12, 2024, involves a group accused of stealing large industrial equipment, including a transformer and a vibrating roller, from a scrap yard in Bang Lamung district, Chonburi. The arrested suspects reportedly implicated Pol. Sub-Inspector Aisoon Dathong as the mastermind behind the operation.

 

 


Pol. Maj. Gen. Thawatchakiat has initiated a formal investigation to determine the officer’s involvement. If evidence of wrongdoing is found, he vowed to impose severe disciplinary measures. Criminal charges will be pursued if necessary, to set an example for other police officers who may engage in similar conduct.

 

National Police Chief, Pol. Gen. Kittirat Phanphet, has ordered further scrutiny into the case, instructing Pol. Lt. Gen. Somprasong Yentuam, Commander of Region 2 Police, and Pol. Maj. Gen. Thawatchakiat to report on any disciplinary or criminal actions taken against the accused officer. A deadline of three days has been set for a detailed report.

 

Authorities believe that this criminal gang has committed several similar crimes in the past, targeting abandoned factories with valuable machinery. Investigations are ongoing, and additional legal action is expected as evidence continues to emerge.

 

This case has drawn widespread attention, highlighting concerns about corruption and misconduct within the police force. The swift action taken by the police commanders demonstrates a commitment to accountability and transparency in addressing these serious allegations.
