They seek him here, they seek him there but unfortunately for the Banglamung authorities their target for the evening Khun Tanin was not at home when they paid him a visit.
Banglamung District Chief Khun Sakchai conducted a raid on a Whisky Shop in Soi Tanman accompanied by a task force of district officials, Banglamung Police Officers and a military back up force. The raid had nothing to do with whiskey however. Complaints had been received from members of the public that a Khun Tanin aged 37 was running a loan sharking operation and also an undercover lottery and betting syndicate.
Khun Yupin aged 35 was in charge of the shop and she denied all knowledge of any nefarious activities being carried out from the premises. Officials searched the shop and another location in Soi Chaitapreuk2. A number of documents including bank books and vehicle registration documents were seized in the raid that are thought to show millions of Baht of ill gained gains.
The Banglamung Authorities say that they will continue surveillance on this property and other properties that appear to have been rented to foreigners in the hope that Khun Tanin will show his nose.
