An arrest warrant has been issued for a former deputy police officer of Na Jom Tien after a suspect implicated him in orchestrating a theft of large machinery worth 10 million Baht.
The police chief in Chonburi has already initiated an investigation against the officer following these allegations. The court in Pattaya has approved the warrant against Lt. Col. Aisur Dathong for charges related to conspiracy and theft.
As of October 13, 2024, the officer has been ordered to report at the Chonburi police headquarters but has not done so due to taking leave to accompany his wife to Udonthani for medical treatment. Reports indicate that he has been in contact with investigators, who have urged him to surrender to demonstrate his innocence.
Additionally, the deputy commander of the 2nd Provincial Police has emphasized the necessity of a thorough investigation and swift resolution in this case due to the officer’s involvement. There is a clear zero-tolerance policy for police misconduct, ensuring that no protection or assistance will be given to officers implicated in illegal activities.
