Acting on orders from Mr. Phisit Sawatdinukul, the Banglamung district chief, Ms. Kamolchanok Konsombat, the district chief secretary, led the operation at around 3:30 AM.
The raid was prompted by numerous public complaints alleging that the establishment operated beyond legal hours and permitted the use of illegal narcotics on the premises. Upon arriving at the club, authorities found over 100 patrons dancing to loud music. The officials intervened, stopped the music, illuminated the place, and separated male and female patrons.
According to Banglamung district officials, the venue’s floor was strewn with plastic bags containing substances resembling narcotics. Officials also found suspicious plastic bags in garbage bins and suspected that they may have been discarded by the partygoers inside the venue when police raided the club.
As a result, the officials ran urine tests on every person in the venue and uncovered that 17 individuals tested positive for illegal drugs – 9 males and 8 females.
Further investigation revealed that the establishment also lacked the proper licensing documentation to operate. Those responsible for the nightclub and individuals who tested positive for drugs were apprehended and taken into custody. They will face further investigation and legal proceedings, although they were not immediately identified to the press.
Police would test the substances found in plastic bags to positively identify what the bags contained.
