Jimi007 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Really? 245 police and navy marines and they net, one guy for a gun and 13 bullets, some katrom from one person and three for encroachment? All of five arrests. Dog and pony show comes to mind. What a waste of resources IMHO… Try going after the real criminals on this island with that kind of force and I will be impressed.

Yes, and based on those statistics, there are more people on Phuket stealing land, than possessing illegal firearms and drugs, combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallPalm Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Kratom. what a b******t law against a harmless substance. So really 245 crime suppression officers and an undisclosed number of marines conducted raids over the period of 3 hours and caught 1 man with a gun. Great work, a commendable success. Personnally if I was in charge of this operation I would have kept as quiet about this as possible. Edited June 20, 2014 by TallPalm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I am wondering why they made such a big song & dance about this. Start by parading some Mr Big's then they can put on a good show.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not be happy, but I'm sure the locals there are happy, since this raid seemed to be aimed at the people trying to evict the locals. Looks like that has been stopped.
