CHON BURI: Cops robbed a club in Pattaya late on Sunday trying to find overstayers and drug abusers, however the immigrants there had existing visas and all consumers checked drug-free.
The 10.30 pm raid on the Hollywood Club in Soi Phet Trakul, Bang Lamung district, became part of a crackdown on immigrants overstaying their visas and getting in the nation unlawfully.
