Gunmen, Druggies and Thieves caught in Major Citywide Swoop by Pattaya Police

PATTAYA:--Gunmen, Druggies and Thieves caught in Major Citywide Swoop by Pattaya Police

Pattaya’s “Top Cops” are not smiling and thats not a good sign for local hoods, but then neither is keeping the Local Police Major General and Colonels up all night managing several swoops on illegal gun owners.

Sunday at 11.30 in the morning, journalists gathered at Soi 9 to see a grubby gang of gun runners and gunmen presented to the press along with thieves and drug users, following arrests made in a concentrated effort to reduce the number of illegal guns in the city and reduce general crime rates.

Also on display was a collection of stolen goods, enough ammunition to support a minor battle zone and guns that belong in the wild west, and not in a city dedicated to tourism.

Drug addicts, thieves and gunmen were all rounded up as part of the regional cleanup operation. The City and Police force have simply had enough of the daily crimes committed, according to officials, and are now determined to make the city less attractive to this element of society.

In the past the city HAS drawn a large proportion of “gangster style” local nationals who have seen the city, its residents and even visitors as easy pickings. The relaxed style of life here means that many wander around wearing expensive gold bracelets and carry abnormally large amounts of cash. Obviously that’s not a crime but it has almost become a walking advertisement to the criminal fraternity.
