The Royal Thai Police has coordinated with Cambodian police to help track down three missing illegal oil vessels. Cambodian authorities are ready to cooperate fully. As for the excuse of taking the boat out to avoid the waves and winds, it doesn’t hold up. Therefore had to move out of the area.

Chonburi Province said that it had ordered the Inspector General of Police to go down and investigate the facts in the case of the boat disappearing to determine if it was the negligence of the officials. Or were there any officials involved with the seized ship that had illegal oil on board? This requires fact-checking and will take some time. As for the relevant marine police, from the level of Pol. Col. or Superintendent, all 5 officers must leave the
area and come to assist at the Central Investigation Bureau.
Pol. Gen. Kraiboon said that the people who moved the boat were members of the boat. Not a police officer Because boats are expensive, there must be someone from the boat owner to take care of the boat.

In fact, the police must go down and supervise the boat as well to prevent escape.
