Ten suspects are being detained in Thailand as a result of arrests made in connection with a significant online gaming community with a turnover of over one billion baht.
According to Pol Lt Gen Wattana Yijeen, director of Provincial Police Region 3, attacks were conducted in Bangkok, Pathum Thani, Chiang Mai, and Sa Kaeo regions where researchers claimed the Tiger24 gambling site had sites.
Pol Lt Gen Wattana said during a presentation at the No Sung police stop in Nakhon Ratchasima on Friday that officers with warrants carried out the raids as part of a battle to combat engineering crime, especially online gambling, which has a negative impact on so many people.
In addition to 6.75 million baht in money, authorities seized six cars, 3 riders, 8 brand-name carriers, 14 mobile devices, 3 devices, 4 notebook computers, a PC, six brand-name dolls, 216 banks passbooks, 189 ATM cards and a gun with a combined value of more than 100 million baht.
The 10 suspects face money laundering, colluding with others in online gambling, and using either directly or indirectly to persuade others.
If you are aware of any online gambling, please dial the 191 hotline or one of the nearby police stations, according to Pol Lt Gen Wattana.
