snoop1130 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 High drama as police chase down a drug suspect in Buri Ram By The Nation Bystanders in Buri Ram’s Nong Rong district ran for cover when there was a hail of bullets as police officers tried to stop a drug dealer’s black pick-up truck on Monday (May 11). After chasing the vehicle for 10 kilometres, they managed to bring the truck to a standstill by shooting all its tyres, though the offender remained unfazed and continued shooting back. The incident was recorded on video by one of the officers, who eventually managed to arrest the suspect, known only as Kangsaranon, 30, and seize his cargo of drugs. 6ba8afca78c8fegi5f9a5.mp4 Source: https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30387662 -- © Copyright The Nation Thailand 2020-05-11 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted May 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2020 Why don't the police or the military use spike strips to take out the vehicles tires so no hail of bullets going down range don't hit an unsuspecting villager or farmer..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2long Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Amazing Thailand! I am confident that the suspect was a 'real suspect' and they arrested him safely... but this happened TODAY and one of the officers involved has his video on social media, plus the driver's registration! Fair trial? I think not! And can anyone remember them saying a year or two ago that the 'crime re-enactments' were illegal and had to be stopped? Well, that didn't last long, did it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNXexpat Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 If I would see a chase with a shooting, for sure I wouldn´t follow the cars as the Thais do. Driving to the side and wait till it´s safe for me is the best option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
