Crackdown ordered on Bangkok bag-snatchers

Pol Lt Gen Charnthep Sesawej

 

With incidents of bag-snatching on the rise in Bangkok, acting Metropolitan Police Chief Pol Lt Gen Charnthep Sesawej on Wednesday ordered a crackdown in all nine divisions.

Charnthep told division commanders in a meeting that thieves were grabbing handbags more frequently lately and residents were demanding action.

 

He noted that quick arrests are rendered difficult because police stations do not effectively share information about bag-snatching suspects.

 

That has to improve, he said.

Well if it has to improve, it will. 101 of laziness, ineptitude and delusion.

Ok, another crackdown, this time on bag snatchers (don't recall last time cracked down on this specific crime). Perhaps if a crackdown on cops not doing basic police work happened, those crimes levels would take care of themselves, To dream the impossible dream...

Police leaving their climatically controlled offices to walk a beat?  It will never happen.

Try crack down needed on slag snatching and I am with you

All these "crack-downs" crack me up!

 

 

[oldcarguy]

they need to do stings to catch them in the act.....

 

but that would take work , and its hot outside.........

 

in the USA  they have bags with an ink bag that explodes , these are  put in the bank robbers  bag of $$$$ and it explodes down the road and marks the robber ......

 

YES   they need to do something........hope they do....

Why don't they have cops walking a beat? It would help community relations, discourage illegal goings on as well. It's not as if there aren't sufficient BIB's for this, unlike say the UK with all it's cut backs.

You'd think that by now they'd be too embarrassed to even use the word "crackdown" any more...   Do they realize how much scorn and ridicule it earns them?   Every time?
