29 arrests made in islandwide police operation targeting 27 KTV venues; 10 women to be deported

Police conducted an สล็อต ออนไลน์ islandwide anti-crime operation earlier this week to check on KTV lounges currently operating as food and beverage (F&B) outlets, the authorities said on Saturday (Jul 17).

During the operation from Jul 13 to Jul 15, a total of 281 people were found within the premises of 27 outlets and checked by the police.

Twenty-nine women of various nationalities, aged between 20 and 47, were subsequently arrested for alleged offences under the Women’s Charter, the Immigration Act, and the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act.

Following an anti-crime operation on Jul 13, police said 10 women of various nationalities, aged between 21 and 34, have had their short-term visit passes or work passes cancelled and will be deported.

The police said these ten women were arrested together with ten other women on Jul 13 for working without a valid work pass or flouting the conditions of their work pass.

“They had served as social hostesses within three pivoted KTV lounges operating as F&B outlets and intermingled with different groups of patrons,” said the police.

Investigations revealed that one of these women had also mingled with a patron at another similar KTV lounge that was recently ordered to close for deep cleaning and disinfection.

By engaging in these prohibited activities, the police said they had blatantly breached safe management measures under the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020.
