“Anutin” announces arrest of a pub in Pathum Thani that allowed underage children to use the services.

Anutin", Minister of Interior, announced the arrest of a pub in Pathum Thani that allowed underage people under 20 to use the services, more than 80 people, and is about to order its closure for 5 years. Special Operations Officers of the Pathum Thani Provincial Administration Division inspected an entertainment venue that was open in Mueang Pathum Thani District after receiving information that it was secretly open past the legal hours and allowed people under 20 years of age to use the services. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul revealed that at 2:00 a.m. on July 6, officials from the Department of Provincial Administration raided the entertainment venue as reported and arrested 81 customers under the age of 20. No drugs were found in their system. However, after the arrest, a man claiming to be the owner of the shop obstructed the arrest. However, when the officers were about to press charges, the man brought a woman to surrender to the officers, claiming to be the real owner of the shop. Mr. Anutin revealed that the man's behavior was suspicious of whether he was trying to hide some information or whether there was someone helping behind the scenes. Therefore, he ordered the officers to thoroughly investigate in order to prosecute those involved. The entertainment venue will be ordered to close for 5 years, while the owner of the restaurant will be prosecuted for operating an unlicensed establishment, selling alcoholic beverages beyond the time allowed by law, allowing a person under 20 years of age to use the service, and selling alcoholic beverages to a person under 20 years of age.
