Bangkok:Bags and jewelry belonging to actress Boom Panadda were discovered hidden in two condominiums and are believed to be authentic, with an estimated total value of 10 million baht.
According to Thai News Agency, the Economic Crime Suppression Division is currently examining the designer handbags owned by Boom Panadda. The police are meticulously inspecting all the luxury brand-name bags seized during a search of her luxury condo. Experts in brand-name handbags are involved in verifying their authenticity and determining if they are counterfeit.
These inspections include 32 bags from an older batch and a new batch whose exact number remains undetermined. This follows police raids on luxury condominiums located in the Sukhumvit and Phaya Thai areas. Initial findings at the Sukhumvit condo suggested the presence of a number of counterfeit designer bags, believed to be authentic, that were hidden there. Jewelry was also discovered during the Phaya Thai search.
Officers have gathered all the bags, packed them into boxes, and sent them to experts for examination at the Economic Crime Suppression Division, Sub-Division 4. The examination process is ongoing, with preliminary findings indicating that most of the items are counterfeit. During the investigation, police requested that the media wait outside and did not allow filming.
In addition to the designer handbags, the search uncovered a large quantity of luxury jewelry, including diamond necklaces, gemstones, rings, and earrings, all valued at approximately 10 million baht. There is suspicion that some jewelry may have been purchased from neighboring countries. The police have collected evidence and seized all items for investigation into their origin and to verify their authenticity. This investigation is anticipated to take about 1-2 weeks before further legal action is considered.
