Georgealbert Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Picture of the arrests. In a crack down operation on January 10, Pattaya Police raided an illegal gambling group on Jomtien Beach, arresting six individuals, including both Thai nationals and Cambodians, who were openly gambling in a dice game on the beach, in a blatant disregard for the law. The raid, led by Police Colonel Navin Thiravit, Commander of Pattaya Police Station, came after a tip-off regarding a group of people engaging in illegal gambling activities at the entrance to Soi 12 on Jomtien Beach Road, Chonburi province. Upon receiving the information, Police Lieutenant Colonel Sirachat Nuteth, Deputy Commander of Pattaya Police Station, organised a surveillance operation, deploying undercover officers to gather evidence. The officers found nearly ten people, both men and women, openly gambling, rolling dice game for money in public on the beach. The group was also disrupting the peaceful atmosphere, creating a nuisance for tourists. When the police moved in, the gamblers fled in all directions, but authorities were able to apprehend six suspects: three Thai nationals and three Cambodian nationals, but some of the gamblers managed to escape. Police seized a quantity of cash and one mobile phone, which was being used for dice gambling via an online application. The arrested individuals were charged with illegal gambling and will be prosecuted in accordance with the law. Police are continuing their investigations and will take further legal action as necessary. -- 2025-01-11

(Six lines into the article.) It NEVER says 'as a result of good detective work/police enquiries'.
Briggsy Posted January 11 Posted January 11 It is wonderful that 6 people from different nationalities can all get along having a game of dice on the beach. I think that is great. 1
