A local resident who discovered the items in a plastic bag at the site, behind the Kata Center shopping complex near the Dino Park, reported his find, resulting in a Navy troop on patrol in the area being called to the scene.
Among the items found, 14 were identification cards that are still valid, six driving permits, a foreigner’s identification card, eight ATM cards, reported Sub-Lt Taksin Puklim.
“There was also a bankbook for an account that apparently still had a balance B10,000,” he said.
All the items found will be handed to the Karon police, Sub-Lt Taksin confirmed.
“The police will handle the investigation,” he said. “This is not normal. We want to know who dumped these items here and whether it was the work of a criminal or thief after committing a crime.”
