PATHUM THANI: A special operations staff from the Department of Provincial Administration of the Interior Ministry raided a nightclub in the Lam Luk Ka city yesterday, and 137 patrons tested positive for medication.

Ansit Sampantarat, director-general of the Department of Provincial Administration, led the 1.45 a.m. attack on MEM Exclusive Club, also known as MME Pub, on Hathairat Road in the Tambon Lat Sawai, Lam Luk Ka area, with assistance from the Narcotic Control Board’s Region 1 Office and regional defense individuals. No officers officers participated in the crime.

At the time, there were about 300 individuals in the bar. According to Mr. Ansit, five of them lacked recognition cards and many were younger than 20.

Urine study revealed that 137 tested positive for medications.

The pub’s user and the team in command were detained and accused of breaking the law, selling alcohol to minors, operating the establishment without a permit, and inciting boys to misbehave.

He declared that the bar patrons who tested positive for medications may face legal action.

According to Mr. Ansit, the attack came in response to concerns made by locals with the Interior Ministry’s Damrongtham Centre that the restaurant had unlawfully permitted children under the age of 20 inside and that it had been used for drug sales and use. Often the bar was empty until six in the morning.

He had given the city chief the go-ahead to submit a five-year shutdown order report to the provincial government.

Anutin Charnvirakul, the deputy prime minister and inside minister, praised the efforts of its officers in the attack.

” We want to ensure the safety and happiness of our culture.” The problem was reported to us by the citizens, and our authorities responded, which resulted in the repression of illegal activity, he said.
