rooster59 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 "Joke" raid by police commandos in Bangkok fails to turn up a shred of evidence Image: Thai Rath A huge police raid mounted by 191 police in the Din Daeng area failed to turn up a single piece of evidence.Officers from 191 led by chief Surachet Hakpan - who has the nickname Joke (rice gruel) - and tourist police descended on buildings 33 to 36 known as the Din Daeng flats in the Pracha Sonkhro area of the capital.But despite more than 150 cops being involved and 320 rooms being searched nothing illegal was discovered.The raid, the fourth big one in the last month mounted by the force, came after reports of young people doing drugs in the area.However, a handful of guns and other evidence was found in some other parts of the city enabling a photo opportunity for the 191 force and others at their HQ in Viphawadee Rangsit road yesterday.

Thaiwrath Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Probably more disappointed about them all not being on a 'successful' photo shoot, than catching any criminals ! That would surely have been a contender for 'photo of the year' ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinneil Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Yes what a joke The policeman who was getting protection money from the criminals tipped them off. Edited May 12, 2017 by colinneil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksidedog Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 They searched 320 rooms? And how exactly did they get 320 search warrants? My guess is that they didn't and just bullied their way in, with total disrespect for the law. And found nothing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Joke another medal anyway, because someone else found a gun somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maoro2013 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 They don't need search warrants here then, or were they authorised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Quote But despite more than 150 cops being involved and 320 rooms being searched nothing illegal was discovered. I'd say the statistical probability in that part of town of checking 320 different rooms and finding NO illegal contraband is probably about 1 in 900 million gazillion. This is, after all, Thailand. Kind of makes you wonder what they were actually doing out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
