Bangkok City Police will burn 2,750 slot machines, seized in gambling and vice crackdown operations, this morning, to ensure transparency.
Metropolitan Police deputy commissioner Pol Maj-General Chanthawit Ramasut said he had instructed the Metropolitan Police Area 2 and Bang Khen Police Station superintendent to work with the Army in preparing the place for the machines’ demolition, while the Royal Thai Police would cover the event’s expenses.
Chanthawit said he had also told police to get tough on all crimes from September 1, especially robberies and thefts at banks, gold shops and convenience stores, while checkpoints would be set up at nine risky spots to crack down on street racers from 10pm-midnight and 1.30am-3.30am.
