A total of 61 people have been arrested! Thailand's 2nd Naval District intercepted 5 illegal Vietnamese fishing boats again!

According to a number of Thai media sources, on May 12, Thailand's Second Maritime Law Enforcement Command Center and the Second Navy arrested five Vietnamese fishing boats that illegally entered Thailand's territorial waters in the Fuzhi area of Songkhla Province and arrested 25 crew members.

It is reported that the Second Maritime Law Enforcement Command Center previously received clues that a foreign fishing vessel had illegally infiltrated Thailand's territorial waters to conduct fishing activities, so it ordered its subordinate vessels to join the 2nd Navy Special Operations Group and the Marine Police Department to check the situation, and finally successfully discovered the traces of illegal foreign fishing boats, and brought all the crew members back for interrogation and disposal in accordance with the law.

It is understood that since October 2023, 7 arrests of foreign fishing vessels have been carried out in the jurisdiction of the 2nd Thai Navy, intercepting a total of 12 fishing boats and arresting 61 crew members.
