PHUKET: A joint army-navy special task force last night (December 11) arrested four men and seized several construction vehicles during a raid of an illegal excavation site in Chalong's Moo 6.

Acting on an anonymous tip-off, a special investigation unit comprising officers from the 13th Army circle and 3rd Naval Area Command at 9.15pm last night (December 11) raided an illegal excavation site next to the hill behind Wat Luangpusupa temple, next to the unfinished Klong Krata resevoir.

The raiding party confronted four men in the middle of excavating dirt from the hill, which already had about a “10- meter section of earth removed.”

Only 4 men, but several vehicles. Sounds like a few did a runner. Shouldn't that be a job for council officials and maybe police to investigate ? Having a joint Army and Navy "task force" investigate a big hole sounds like something out of Monty Python's flying circus.

the vehicles etc cost money so I wonder if we will ever be told who is behind this ?

Do I hear the usual ' an influential person / politician locally ' or some other vague hint that rarely gets expanded upon ?
