At 8pm on the evening of June 26 reporters received information that a group of ten crack officers of the Economic Crime Suppression Division were carrying out a raid on Thepprasit Market, South Pattaya, and seizing counterfeit goods.

On investigation reporters observed the team sweeping through the entire market and confiscating numerous items.

The unit’s leader, Police Lt Col Tienchai Lertmaneetaweesap, asked reporters for identification and then explained his team had been informed there were too many copyright violations and they had to clamp down.

They impounded clothes, bags, watches and shoes. In total over one-hundred items were seized to the value of one-million baht. The unit loaded it all into a van and drove away.

However, when reporters went to follow up the raid with Pol Lt Col Pawatchai Soodsakorn, the Sub Inspector who supervises the Thepprasit area, they were told there had been no instructions for the Economic Crime Suppression Division to be at Thepprasit Market and that no raid had been carried out.
