Police Raid Illegal Poker Den In Nonthaburi, Arrest 25
Police arrested 25 gamblers and the operator during a raid on an illegal poker den in Nonthaburi's Bang Khen subdistrict, seizing cards, chips, vehicles and other gaming equipment.
At 4 p.m. on July 9, 2025, Police Colonel Pruet Chamroonjasana, commander of Rattanathibeth Police Station in Nonthaburi, along with Police Colonel Supchai Srusak and investigation units, executed search warrant number 710/2569 issued by Nonthaburi Provincial Court. Officers raided a residence in Bang Khen subdistrict, Mueang district, after learning of illegal poker operations.
The surprise raid netted 25 gamblers—10 men and 15 women—along with gaming equipment including cards, chips, card spreaders, CCTV cameras, 2 motorcycles, and 3 vehicles. Ms. Patcharee, 40, was identified as the house renter and gambling den operator. Jirayut served as the dealer and house manager, claiming the card games had just begun that day and he earned 500 baht daily. He said the gamblers were acquaintances who had arranged to play together.
One female gambler insisted they did not play daily and claimed this was their first day. She swore an oath, saying she came from Rayong with her sister and was new to this location because no gambling venues existed in Rayong. She insisted they could verify her claim through CCTV footage. Police are processing all suspects and evidence for legal proceedings.
