Police crackdown on 100 Arab motorbike racers in Pattaya

Police in Pattaya on Sunday rounded up more than 100 Arab motorbike racers.

 

A team of more than 50 officers from local and Tourist police detained the group after blocking access to Soi VC and Soi Yen Sabai as the group were riding round on their modified motorbikes.

 

After seeing police some of the youths casually tried to park up their motorbikes in nearby hotel car parks in a bid to avoid detection, while others questioned the police as to why they had been stopped.

 

 

Police told the group they had received complaints from local residents about their loud motorbikes and that if they continue to race around the streets of Pattaya they will face legal action.

 

Police said this is the start of a crackdown on the Arab motorbike racers who ride their loud motorbikes around Pattaya late at night and who have been the subject of an increasing number of complaints from locals.

 

Police said they will start confiscating bikes from the riders, but will also target the owners of the motorbikes who have rented them to the youths, as well as going after those who modified the bikes.

Meanwhile no action is taken after dark on Thai motor bike riders tearing up Suk with no lights or Pattaya taxi drivers who flout the law of the land every minute of every day.

Was there not a story a while back about the police stopping a bunch of Arab motor bike racers? They were given a warning. I guess must be a different group of police than the last bunch.

[BestB]

Actually the whole story is incorrect.

 

it was 30 riders and police did not casually cautioned them but put a strip out which knocked down all 30 of them, a nice big pile up of 30 bikes and people all mangled up.?

 After the Poleese crackdown the Arab boys upped the ante by turning 4x4's into 2 wheelers ..

Rather than say what they will do in the future, why not just do it today?

Racing or even just using these noisy vehicles is already illegal. The Thais hiring them out have already committed a crime. Just bung the lot of them in jail and crush the vehicles and be done with it.

why is it that whenever the police actually leave the office and do something the english speaking media calls it a crackdown?

They had a go at this lot a year ago, so what makes them think it will make any difference this time ? Don’t just threaten them, take the bikes immediately !!!
