The Thailand cops have detained 26 people, including a tambon chief, for gambling on dice games and cockfighting at a den in a forest reserve in Nop Phi Tham district.
The gambling operation had reportedly been operating at that location for some time, prompting local villagers to lodge a complaint with provincial governor Chamroen Thippayapongtada.
Mr. Chamroen ordered Srivichai forest rangers to work with police at Nop Phi Tham and look into the complaint. The raid was carefully planned and soldiers from Vajirayudh army camp were brought in to assist. Twenty-one men and five women were detained in the operation.
Police seized equipment for hi-lo dice gambling and 10 fighting cocks. The den also housed a cockfighting ring.
Amphon Sangthong, head of Srivichai Taskforce, said that the suspects would be handed over to police at Nop Phi Tham station.
