Police Raid Luxury Don Mueang Gambling Den, Arrest 30
Police raided a luxury home in Don Mueang and uncovered an illegal gambling den, arresting 30 players and seizing chips, equipment and mobile phones used for transfers. The operation revealed a scheme where gamblers were picked up from a market to avoid detection. Two women attempted to escape via the roof, with one falling through and sustaining injuries requiring hospital treatment.
Officers said investigators learned of the illegal gambling operation and sent an undercover agent, who discovered that gamblers were instructed to meet at a local market before being driven to the luxury residence. After gathering evidence, police surrounded and searched the house, arresting all 30 gamblers. During the raid, two female gamblers tried to flee to the third floor and climbed onto the roof; one fell through the roof, injuring herself, and was given first aid before being taken to hospital. Police are still investigating to confirm the identity of the den’s owner, who is suspected to be a former provincial council member.
