Online betting operation raided; six arrested

Suthin led 191 and Wang Thong Lang officers at 1pm yesterday to search rooms number 206 and 232 at Thong Charoen Mansion in Soi Lat Phrao 122. They arrested six suspects including a Web designer, two cashiers and three women who took phone calls and provided credit top-ups for customers in exchange for Bt9,000 a month. Police seized six desktops, one computer notebook, 22 cell phones, 22 bank account books, 10 files of football-betting tickets and Bt59,000 cash.
Suthin said the suspects confessed that their website, www.aib333.net, had been up and running for a year and had some 500 customers with money flow of Bt500,000 a day (each customer was given credit worth Bt4 million a day).
He said the search and arrest followed the alleged murder of Kasetsart University student Tossaporn Liangjai, 19, on April 1, by fellow student Prasit Phanpala over an online football gambling debt.
