Suspect in Nakhon Sawan says he sold carriers, belts and other , products online
A person has been detained in Korea with a wide range of dog skin-based products, most of which he typically sells online, according to police.
The spasms occurred on Tuesday during a raid carried out by Thai authorities, US Fish and Wildlife Service representatives, and forest protection officials.
According to Pol Maj Gen Watcharin Phusit, head of the police’s Natural Resources and Environmental Crimes Suppression Division, Chit Pasut-angkun was taken into custody at his home in the tambon Nong Krod of the Muang city in Nakhon Sawan.
At the home, officers found three full cat skins, 44 pieces of cat body, 18 make bags and wallets made from cat skins, nine tiger skin belts, 22 bear claw keychains and four snake leather bags.
Following last year’s imprisonment of big cat criminals, Pol Maj Gen Watcharin claimed the arrest was the result of a follow-up research. Authorities were uncovered by a second class of suspects who had used lion and reptile carcasses to create belts and bags.
The chief claims that Mr. Chit confessed to beginning to produce the goods at his home in the first half of this year and that he has placed online advertisements for the majority of them. Luggage sold for 2, 000 to 5, 000 ringgit each, belt for 1, 900 ringgit and bear spear keychains for 250 ringgit, he said.
