The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of the Royal Thai Police has dismantled an online network involved in the distribution of counterfeit automobile parts, following a series of coordinated raids in Nonthaburi and Bangkok. 

 

The operation has sparked serious concerns over public safety, with authorities warning that the use of such fake components could result in engine failure and potentially fatal accidents.

 

Led by the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD), officers arrested Mr. Anusak, who faces charges of possessing counterfeit goods for sale. The seized items bore illegally replicated trademarks belonging to officially registered brands, which had been used without authorisation to deceive consumers.

 

Search warrants were executed at two key warehouse locations, one in Maha Sawat Subdistrict, Bang Kruai District, Nonthaburi Province, and another in Soi Charoen Nakhon 14, Khlong Ton Sai Subdistrict, Khlong San District, Bangkok. The raids followed an investigation that uncovered the covert distribution of counterfeit automotive parts, including air filters, oil filters, and fuel filters.

 

The warrants were granted by the Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court after officers had compiled substantial evidence pointing to the illegal trade.

 

During the operation, police were joined by authorised representatives of affected companies, who confirmed that the confiscated goods were counterfeit and infringed upon registered trademarks. The suspect was immediately detained, and the illegal items were handed over to investigators from Subdivision 1 of the ECD for legal proceedings.

The operation was carried out under the supervision of Police Lieutenant General Jiraphop Phuridech, Commissioner of the CIB, along with Police Major General Thasnapoom Charupratcha, Commander of the ECD, and Police Colonel Phuwadet Chulakasewi, Superintendent of Subdivision 1, ECD.

 

The arresting team was led by Police Lieutenant Wisarut Thaichan-at and included officers from Subdivision 1 of the ECD.

 

The CIB reiterated its commitment to professionalism, neutrality, and protecting the public from economic crimes that jeopardise safety and consumer trust.
