Around 12.30am today, July 10, Pattaya City Police, led by Police Lieutenant Colonel Suchat Dusadee, along with patrol officers and Pattaya volunteer forces, carried out a raid at Phratamnak Hill in Pattaya. This action was in response to reports of a group of teenagers causing disturbances by riding motorcycles and creating loud noises that disrupted residents nearby.
