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.
One of the arrested gamblers still has his rooster with him at the police station.
