POLICE HAVE ARRESTED two men and seized pirated goods worth Bt18 million in Chachoengsao's Sanam Chai Khet district in what is the eastern region's biggest-ever piracy bust, provincial police chief Maj-General Theerapol Jindaluang said at a press confer
Chawapong Rattanawiang and Sombat Parabut, both 38, were arrested on Friday night at a checkpoint on Road 359 (Sa Kaew-Khao Hin Son).
They reportedly confessed to being hired for Bt6,000 to smuggle the China-made pirated goods in a six-wheel truck from Sa Kaew’s Rong Kleu Market to a market in Nakhon Nayok.
They reportedly told police that they had done this once a week for nearly eight months.
The men have been charged with being in possession of pirated goods with intent to sell.
The goods include 557 brand-name bags, 500 polo shirts, 300 pairs of sandals, 1,325 sports clothing pieces and 233 sports shoes.
