Investigators at the Economic and Cyber Crime Division of the Royal Thai Police were recently made aware of an advertisement running in a Pattaya English Language Newspaper which was offering copies of popular movies and UK TV Series. They discovered that the man behind the operation was an ex-pat from Liverpool, England but needed more evidence before they could arrest him. A meeting was set-up with the suspected seller; Mr. Robert Newton aged 64, in the car park of the Jomtien Palm Beach Hotel. He was in possession of boxes full of the illegally copied movies and TV Series which was accompanied by a professionally made brochure detailing the movies for sale. He was subsequently taken to Pattaya Police Station in his Nissan Frontier Pick-up which was full of boxes containing the movies and was later processed in accordance with Thai Law.
