Catch this foreign scumbag pretending to be a Thai cop preying on tourists!

The head of Pattaya police has said that a foreign man is riding around Pattaya on a motorcycle posing as a Thai policeman.

 

He targets tourists on motorcycles and orders them to stop before looking in their bags and stealing cash and valuables.

 

There have been many cases in the Na Jomtien area according to a police appeal for help. And he seems to have an accomplice.

 

Chief Apichai Krobpetch confirmed Monday that the police were looking for the foreign man who speaks English well.

 

He said that an arrest warrant was now out and he would not be able to flee the country. In an interview with Siam Chon news he said that he was a pillion on a bike driven by another man.

 

"We will have him in a couple of days," predicted the chief. "We are on his tail thanks to CCTV".

 

The chief warned the public that criminal elements might use the busy New Year to break the law preying on tourists in such a manner.

 

Earlier the Pattaya Police page on Facebook issued a request for help in tracking down the foreigner preying on tourists.

 

They said that he claimed to be a cop, extorts money and steals from tourists.

 

He drives around looking for tourist victims then orders them to stop, said the request.

 

Then he checks credentials such as passport and looks in bags. he removes cash and valuables from bags without the tourists realizing it.

 

He is on a black and white Yamaha Aerox with no licence plate.

 

The Chinese seem to be targeted in particular by the smooth talking speaker of English.

 

Those who know him or his whereabouts were urged to contact Pattaya police investigating - Nathakorn Janlort 088 524 3535 or Janerop Khamman 080 569 0111.

You've got to be having a laugh.

If he does flee the the country, with a pending warrant, he certainly won't be the first !

It wouldn't be surprising if this guy has a police volunteer ID etc, maybe check back through the records.

Isn't all that extorting a job for a real Thai cop ?

 

Hmmm can catch him in a few days..

An arrest warrant was now out??

Warrant with no name?

No need for a name.

 

They're looking for a Pattaya motorcycle cop that wears a helmet. Should be easy to spot.

time for that thaivisa armchair game, i am going for RUSSIAN with that square jaw, next ?? well he is obviously not a THAI now is he

"He said that an arrest warrant was now out and he would not be able to flee the country."

 

so you know his name? maybe a call to immigration to check their records because they have everyone's address. :cheesy:

 

"We will have him in a couple of days," predicted the chief. "We are on his tail thanks to CCTV". :cheesy:

 

" Earlier the Pattaya Police page on Facebook issued a request for help in tracking down the foreigner preying on tourists."

 

Translation: We have no idea who he is. Looking at CCTV is boring. Please do our job for us.:cheesy:

Yes, extremely well known faces seem to get out with impunity.

He's said to be riding pillion on a bike driven by an accomplice - the photo shows him driving a motorbike with a full description of it.

Could it be that someone is confused? Surely not!

No Russian can't speak English

I can think of a couple of gogo bars on Walking Street he might be found at.

..... as opposed to the "real" Thai police who are all not working with work permits?

:smile:

Hel hath no fury like a woman scorned we are told, but jealousy from a Thai cop, probably runs a close second, so no doubt they will nail him in due course.

Only stupids would believe he is the real thing because there is never a Thai police that speaks English!

Looks nothing like Russian at all.

 

Most likely from that country on the European island, what's the name where all the ISIS volunteers like to gather.

An abusive personal attack has been removed also off topic and troll posts and replies

Arnold Judas Rimmer of Jupiter Mining Corporation Ship Red Dwarf

He's a threat alright!

He's cornered the market and Thai Police are losing their regular source of income!!

No wonder they are red hot on to this creature.

LOL
