Investigation Division 2, joined by investigation units from Chonburi and Sattahip, raided an illegal Pok Deng gambling den in Bang Sare Subdistrict, arresting 14 gamblers—3 men and 11 women—following the National Police Chief’s directive emphasizing that commanders allowing vice activities, gambling dens, or human trafficking will face transfer orders within 24 hours.
On 12 October 2026, investigation teams from Provincial Police Region 2, Chonburi Provincial Police, and Sattahip Police Station jointly launched an operation to raid a gambling den in Bang Sare Subdistrict, Sattahip District, Chonburi Province, arresting 14 gamblers in total, including 11 women and 3 men.
The operation was conducted under the leadership of Pol. Lt. Gen. Wasan Techakakrasem, Commander of Provincial Police Region 2; Pol. Maj. Gen. Kiattisak Sarathongoi, Commander of the Investigation Division of Provincial Police Region 2; Pol. Maj. Gen. Chatree Suksiri, Commander of Chonburi Provincial Police; along with Pol. Col.

Apichat Namjantoh, Investigation Officer at Sattahip Police; and Pol. Lt. Col. Sila Sajai, Patrol Officer at Sattahip Police.
Police received a tip from informants about a gambling den operating secretly in an unnumbered rented room in Bang Sare Subdistrict. Coordination with investigation teams led to a raid on the site, where officers found a group of gamblers actively playing Pok Deng cards. All 14 individuals inside were detained, evidence collected, and suspects sent to Sattahip Police Station for legal prosecution.
This operation followed a directive issued on 9 October 2026 by National Police Chief Pol. Gen. Samran Nualma emphasizing the crackdown on vice venues, gambling dens, and human trafficking. He instructed local commanders to rigorously enforce these policies, warning that commanders found neglecting their duties may be urgently transferred within 24 hours.
Based on this policy, authorities investigated and tracked illegal gambling spots in Chonburi Province, noting that some dens might relocate to evade inspections.

All those arrested will undergo investigation and legal proceedings based strictly on evidence and established legal procedures.
