Area pawn shops and antique dealers were told how to avoid selling
stolen government property during a seminar in Pattaya.
Banglamung District Chief Sakchai Taengho opened the June 20 workshop
aimed at briefing retailers on the Control of Auction and Antique Trade
Act of 1930, the Ministry of Interior’s Control of Auction and Antique
Trade Act of 1990, and guidelines in legal auctioning and antiques
dealing.
Alongkot Worakee, of the Interior Ministry’s Investigation and Legal
Affairs Bureau, explained that public property such as electrical wires,
water meters, drain covers, bridge rails, bronze fittings and automobile
parts are frequently stolen and sold to auction houses, pawn shops and
scrap-metal dealers.
The training was organized to prevent innocent dealers from brokering
stolen property.
