PHUKET: The largest-ever haul of copy goods in southern Thailand was claimed today by raiders who netted items valued at 100 million baht and made seven arrests in Patong this afternoon.
Acting on a warrant for entry approved by the courts today, about 30 volunteers descended on two shophouses in the Baan Sukjalern district, between Jungceylon shopping centre and the road to Karon.
The raid was led by Udom Petchakud, Director of the Department of Special Investigations, Region 8, who said he believed it was the largest haul of copy goods ever in Thailand's southern provinces.
An estimated 100,000 items - branded bags, shirts, pants and other clothing - were packed into bags and carried away in a 10-wheel truck.
It's believed the shophouses were a distribution point for copy goods to go out all over Phuket and Andaman tourist destinations.
