A police officer convicted of stealing more than 150 guns over a period of two years from a Nonthaburi police station has been sentenced to 270 years in jail but will serve the maximum of 50 years, authorities said on Thursday.
The Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases Region 1 handed down the sentence to Chaowalit Phumkhachorn, a former crime suppression officer attached to the Pak Kret station, on March 21, said Kosolwat Inthujanyong, a deputy spokesman for the Office of the Attorney-General (OAG).
