More than 20 people were arrested when police raided an illegal
cock-fighting ring in Pong Sub-district.
Dozens of participants surrounded the ring on Soi Ponglang 2 when police
swept in. People ran in all directions, but officers were able to capture 22
alleged gamblers.
Police also seized fighting cocks, a cage and other equipment, plus the
ring.
Officers said the ring was owned by a Banglamung District volunteer and the
registration for it had expired more than a year ago. The unnamed owner was
taken in for questioning.
