A raid on a house in Kratie town where cockfighting was allegedly taking place led to the arrest of five people, including the homeowner, on Saturday.

Police said that there were almost 20 people inside, but most of them escaped. Some of the alleged betters were also injured as they jumped out of the house to avoid arrest.

During the raid, police confiscated four cocks. Neighbours told the police that sounds of cockfighting were a constant annoyance. KOH SANTEPHEAP
