Police raided a gambling den in Bangkok's Don Muang district on Saturday, which had been raided and shut down at least 10 times over the past several years.
Police raided the gambling den, inside an old futsal stadium on Soi Song Prapha 1, on Saturday evening. The team tried to enter the stadium from the gates, but they were boarded up and the premises were surrounded with barbed wire.
Officers had to climb a fence to enter the stadium and cut through several locks to get in.
The officers found three connected rooms reinforced with soundproof materials. Inside, they arrested four gamblers along with six others and seized several pieces of gambling equipment.
The den had been raided several times over the past few years alone; the most recent raid took place on Dec 29 last year, when 65 people were arrested. Authorities shut down the den, which was managed by an man called "Amnuay".
The den closed down only to reopen shortly afterwards. The site was also searched by police on March 27. Investigators seized some gambling equipment, but did not find any gamblers.
Authorities have raided the gambling den at least 10 times. However, it managed to reopen after each closure and continue its operations.
