Raid on online gambling den in parking lot of famous shopping mall in Pinklao area

Bangkok, The authorities raided an online gambling den that used snooker tables as a front in a parking lot of a famous shopping mall in the Pinklao area. Administrative officers raided an online gambling den located in a parking lot of a shopping mall in the Pinklao area. Inside the den, they found over 20 gambling computers. The gamblers were mostly elderly. For this operation, the Department of Provincial Administration received complaints from citizens who said they were suffering because someone in their family was addicted to gambling, so they asked for action to help close the den. The administrative task force therefore sent an undercover administrative officer to investigate the facts because this ball does not allow strangers to enter to play. They must be introduced or brought in by someone they know before they can enter to play. In front of the gambling den, which is a gambling room, the public is allowed to enter to play snooker, but it is believed that it is probably open to deceive the auth orities. Initially, the administrative officers arrested them by coordinating with the investigation officers of Bang Yi Khan Police Station to inspect and seize the computers and online gambling equipment, which were mostly baccarat gambling and fish shooting machines. They will take the gamblers, more than 20 people, to record the arrest at Bang Yi Khan Police Station and proceed with legal action. In addition, the case will be forwarded to the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) to expand the trail of the online gambling den in order to seize its assets. Source: Thai News Agency
