Investigation leads to logs find in warehouse
A raid by police and the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) has netted a large cache of hardwood logs, including those of protected Siamese Rosewood, at a rented warehouse in Samut Prakan’s Bang Phli district.
DNP Forest Protection executive Somsak Phuphetch said the raid of this 20-square-metre storage facility followed the officials’ investigation into illegal logging in Sukhothai province by a gang of civilians and state officials.
The logs have now been seized as evidence, while DNP officials and police investigate links to all those involved.
