Police rewards for crackdown success

Metropolitan Police Bureau deputy chief Saroj Phrom-charoen yesterday announced the results of crime suppression in Bangkok over the past week that rounded up 27 people with guns, 69 robbery suspects and seven motorcycle thieves.

Saroj said 88 police stations had set up checkpoints and sent out mobile units to patrol their jurisdictions from 10pm to 4am daily.
Saroj also rewarded officials who made arrests to boost their morale.
Saroj also announced the arrest of Saenfa Somthong, 20, along with 20,000 ya ba tablets in a police sting in Bangkok. Saenfa allegedly delivered drugs for a former Chiang Rai inmate called Tee.
