A transfer of 17 senior officers at Huay Kwang and Phlapphla
Chai 2 police stations and the Metropolitan
Police Divisions 1 and 6 has been ordered after gambling parlours were found operating under their watch.

The transfers were prompted by a police raid on a gambling den on Friday evening.

City police raided the den in Samphanthawong district and arrested 228 people
and seized gambling chips worth 120 million baht and 500,000 baht in cash.

On Oct 24, city police raided another gambling parlour under the joint jurisdiction
of the Huay Kwang and Phlapphla Chai 2 police stations and arrested 14 gamblers.

A police inquiry has begun into whether the officers subject to the transfer orders
knew about the den, and took bribes to turn a blind eye.

In the first order by the Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB), dated Oct 26,
Huay Kwang police superintendent Pol Col Anurak Nakphong was transferred to
the Royal Thai Police Office for 30 days pending the results of an inquiry.

a deputy commander of the Metropolitan Police Bureau 1, Pol Lt

Kwang police station and Pol Lt Col Wasuthep Khongklom,
another deputy superintendent of the Huay Kwang station,
have been transferred to the city police headquarters for one month.

transferred - Pol Lt Col Sanati Kornkasem,
Pol Lt Col Thawatchai Norasing and Pol Maj Phumet Angsuwanakul.
