30 000 elephant-patterned pants have been taken from a warehouse in Bangkok’s Bang Khuntien city by police in charge of financial crimes.
The trousers were allegedly exempt from trade taxes.
According to Traffic Police Radio, Pol Maj Gen Phutthidet Boonkraphue, the head of the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD ), conducted a search warrant on Sunday to search the warehouse on Kanchanaphisek Road and found 30, 000 pairs of trousers worth at least$ 6 million, all of which were imported without paying import tax.
The ECD stated that the apparel was prepared to be distributed to customers or offered for sale online, without providing any information about the buyer, the warehouse owner, or the country of origin.
The ECD merely stated that police would require people in connection with the seized goods to provide proof that transfer fees had been paid, or they would face charges of breaking the Customs Act.
In the country, elephant-patterned pants are a common style.
Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin was angry about the importation of the same-colored pants from China into Thai areas because they might offend rights. Eventually, the Commerce Ministry threatened to halt imports of Chinese clothes.
