Border patrol soldiers and police in Thailand have intercepted computer equipment believed to belong to an online gambling operation setting up at a new location.
The seizure occurred near the Myanmar border in Tak province, a region northwest of Bangkok. The cargo was destined for Aranyaprathet in Sa Kaeo province, a known hub for gambling and scam operations near the Cambodian border.
According to a spokesman, the army’s Ratchamanu Task Force stopped a truck loaded with boxed computers, monitors, power banks, and other equipment near Ban Wang Ta Kien Tai in Tha Sai Luat subdistrict of Mae Sot district on Sunday night.
The cargo was confiscated, and one suspect was detained but later escaped.
This follows a recent seizure of similar computer and peripheral equipment in Mae Pa subdistrict, Mae Sot district of Tak, also believed to be part of the same illegal operation and headed to the same destination.
