Pol Col Phumin Poompanmuang, commander of the CSD's 5th Sub-Division, said on Sunday he instructed Pol Lt Col Monchai Penglert, the sub-division's inspector, to seek evidence related to the case. Pol Lt Jaroon Wimol, the retired police officer, was later found to have claimed the prize from the winning lottery tickets at the Government Lottery Office. Both men insisted they bought the winning tickets. The teacher later asked to settle the case by splitting the prize, but Pol Lt Jaroon disagreed and insisted he was the real lottery owner. A police complaint would also be filed against Mr Preecha, who claimed he lost the winning tickets, for supplying false information to officers.
