webfact Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Raid on Tao Poon casino fails as search warrant expiresBy Coconuts BangkokBANGKOK: -- Yesterday, a team of 200 Tao Poon police officers failed to raid the infamous Tao Poon casino as their search warrant expired minutes before the operation was supposed to go into effect.Authorities received a tip that the illegal gambling house in the Bang Sue district had once again opened its doors to gamers. They showed up at the venue at 7pm. It seems, however, that the police might have spent too long on their preparations, as the search warrant expired at 7:30pm.

Popular Post Zolt Posted June 27, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) My first instinct would be to say that a copious amount of tea money ensured their "delay", or the short expiry on the warrant. But on second thought, sheer incompetence from everyone involved is all the explanation needed.

jbrain Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 how can a search warrant for a night time establishment expire at 7.30 pm? Probably because it was originally issued at 7.30pm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GentlemanJim Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Why raid a casino at 7pm anyway especially an illegal one in Bangkok. It wouldn't fill up till 10pm or midnight. They obviously wanted to go when it would be empty with no chance of having to arrest a client who was well heeled. As it happens I found one of the BIB training Video's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8jphxpi1ro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 What's the bet there will be no official post mortem on what went wrong ? Not only was the raid an unmitigated disaster it made the BIB look even more useless than they usually do but I suspect there will be no accountability not even moves to inactive posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
