The owner of a Wedding Shop in North Pattaya reported the illegal seizure of items from her shop by a gang of armed debt collectors on Thursday afternoon. Khun Tanapat aged 32 reported the continual harassment by debt collectors who are known to work for an organization based in Chantaburi Province. She had borrowed the sum of 200,000 Baht from them and promised to pay 10,000 Baht per month until the loan plus interest was paid back. After the second month Khun Tanapat was unable to make the payments which led to daily visits from debt collectors who, on Thursday, began to seize items of value from the shop due to non-payment of the money. At this point the Police were called and they arrested four individuals, one of them being only 17 years old. Police Colonel Tamanoon, the Pattaya Police Chief announced the arrests at a press conference at Pattaya Police Station and also revealed the seizure of a pen-gun with bullets, a small quantity of Marijuana, a large amount of money and business cards for the illegal money lending business. The group were charged with a variety of offences and await sentencing in Court.
