Crime Illegal Nightclub Raided in Kamphaeng Saen: Underage Patrons, Loaded Firearm & Drugs Found
Picture courtesy of Department of Provincial Administration, Nakhon Pathom Authorities have shut down an illegal nightclub operating without a licence in Kamphaeng Saen district, Nakhon Pathom, after a dramatic late night raid uncovered a range of serious offences, including the presence of underage patrons, illegal drugs and a loaded firearm. In the early hours of 1 June, at around 01:00, a special operations unit from the Department of Provincial Administration launched a sting operation dubbed “Operation Crush Kamphaeng Saen”. Acting on intelligence provided by undercover officers, the team stormed a popular, unlicensed nightlife venue located in front of a well-known university in the district. Inside, authorities found more than 120 revellers partying in full swing. Chaos erupted when officials revealed themselves, with many partygoers attempting to flee by pushing through the security cordon. Upon conducting a thorough search, the venue was confirmed to be operating without a licence. Officials also discovered several individuals under the age of 20 inside the premises, in direct violation of the law. One of the patrons was found to be just 17 years old. A urine test on the minor returned a positive result for drug use, turning purple, a clear indicator of substance abuse. Numerous others also tested positive. In addition, officers seized a loaded firearm brought into the venue by a patron, along with a quantity of illegal drugs including ecstasy and ketamine, scattered throughout the premises and seemingly prepared for distribution or consumption. The Governor of Nakhon Pathom has since ordered the venue to be shut down for a period of five years under the strict powers granted by public safety legislation. Authorities have confirmed that those found with positive drug results will be referred to rehabilitation programmes and legal proceedings against the venue’s operators are underway.

Crime Security Guard Killed as Gang Steals E-Cigarettes from Khlong Toei Port
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A security guard was killed in the early hours of 1 June, after a gang of thieves rammed their van into pursuing guards while fleeing the scene of a robbery at Khlong Toei Port. The gang had reportedly stolen e-cigarettes from a customs container stored at the Port Authority’s Stadium warehouse. The incident occurred at approximately 01:40 on Kasemrat Road in the Khlong Toei district of Bangkok. Officers from Thungmahamek Police Station, forensic specialists, a pathologist from Chulalongkorn Forensic Hospital and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation responded to the scene. There, they discovered the body of 58-year-old security guard Mr Boonnak Sawatsuk, who had sustained fatal injuries to his head. He was found lying unresponsive near his damaged Honda Wave motorcycle, which had been struck with considerable force. A grey pickup truck nearby had also suffered damage. Witnesses reported that a suspicious white van carrying five men had entered the warehouse premises and begun tampering with a shipping container that had previously been seized by customs officers and was believed to contain e-cigarettes and liquid cartridges. Security personnel on duty attempted to intercept the gang, prompting the suspects to flee. Several guards pursued the van on motorbikes. During the chase, the van reversed aggressively and struck Mr Boonnak’s motorcycle, killing him instantly. The van then collided with a parked pickup truck before speeding away toward the Na Ranong five-way junction. Further investigation has revealed that the warehouse gates, usually kept shut, had been left open due to a futsal match taking place earlier that evening. This may have provided the gang with an opportunity to infiltrate the facility. Mr Montri Doktoi, the head of security on duty that night, expressed sorrow over the loss of his colleague and raised concerns about how the gang knew which container held the valuable items. “Even I didn’t know that there were e-cigarettes inside,” he said. “It’s suspicious. It might have been an inside job.” A local volunteer, Mr Somchai Janphet, who lives near the warehouse, also played a role in the response. He had received a tip-off from a good Samaritan sleeping in a car near the site, who reported hearing suspicious activity. Mr Somchai helped alert guards and attempted to secure the exits. He later observed the van attempting to flee and managed to photograph its licence plate before the fatal collision occurred. According to his account, the van’s driver initially tried to explain away their presence by claiming they were just sleeping in the vehicle. However, a flashlight search revealed a brown cardboard box later confirmed to contain stolen e-cigarettes. As security personnel surrounded the van, the suspects made their escape. Two gang members jumped out to open the gate while the van reversed at speed, running over Mr Boonnak and hitting a passing vehicle. The van then fled the scene, leaving two accomplices behind to escape on foot. As of the afternoon of 1 June, police have confirmed the arrest of one of the suspects, identified as “Bird Rong-Mai”, who was allegedly seen inside the van during the robbery. Authorities are continuing their investigation and have pledged to bring all those involved to justice. Police believe the theft was planned with insider knowledge, given the gang’s apparent awareness of the contents of a specific container among many stored at the site.
