On Monday night, the Banglamung Police led by Pol. Capt. Gorn-pong Suk-wi-sit arrested a loan shark, a person who charges exorbitant rates of interest  for short term loans. He was detained in Nongplalai, after various complaints about the tough ways his thugs used to force their debtors to pay their high interest rate loans. 9 of his men, aged 20-25, the thugs who squeezed the cash out of the customers, were also arrested, including 12 account books, showing the gross turnover was over 2 million baht.

The head of these sharky deals was Mr. Pong-sa-torn Prom-nin, aged 36. He confessed to overseeing this branch for the moneyman, a rich Mafioso in Uthaithani province, who finances many loan sharks in many provinces.
