A massive joint operation of the police in Phuket and the Royal Thai Army has failed spectacularly as officers were conducting a raid on an illegal gambling den.
The raid was carried out on the evening of October 25 by at least 15 officers of the Kathu Police. They were accompanied by Royal Thai Army soldiers from the 25th Military Circle (This is a division stationed in Phuket, the largest island and province of Thailand.).
The illegal gambling facility was in a building located in Division 3 at the rear of the Phuket Villa Kathu housing estate. It was raided after authorities received information that gambling operations were conducted on the site.
However, gamblers quickly fled the scene right before the arrival of the law enforcement the only person arrested was a 72 years old man, who simply could not run away.
