Police connected to vehicular crime seized two vehicles belonging to a well known kamnan or local official in Khao Chakan district of Sa Kaeo province. 

 

There was a Toyota Fortuner with the plate สล (sor lor) 1159 and a Toyota Harrier with another plate, Daily News reported. 

 

Implicated in an alleged fraudulent plate case are Suchart or Kamnan Meng and his nephew Wuthichai, 28.

 

Summonses have been issued. 

 

The case came to light after a man from Prachinburi who happened to be visiting Sa Kaeo on business noticed and took a picture of a Toyota Fortuner that had the exact same plate as his.

Let's get this straight. There were two Toyotas belonging to the local official and his nephew both with same plate, as shown. And the man from Pratchinburi ALSO had a vehicle with that same plate number.

No the Toyota Harrier had a different plate, the Fortuner had the same plate as the man from Prachinburi

I would very much liked to have been there and to see the face of the Kamnan caught red handed...

Really bad for the guy who has the same plate as the fines of the headman would go to him. Especially as the cars look the same. Hope this local official gets punished and does not have much pull.

From the Thai article. The cops were suspicious of it. They took the license plates and tax stickers of both the Fortuner and the Harrier to the DLT office where they were confirmed to be forgeries. The Harrier belongs to the grandson of the kamnan

 

The article didn't mention anything about checking the VINs of the two vehicles. Sounds like a case of more than just forged plates.

It was all a misunderstanding at the registration office, I'm sure it'll all be worked out.

I'm sure this corrupt politician will easily and cheap buy his way out. They are all family in the village.

This happened to me one time; Driving in my local city, I stopped at the lights in my car, the pick up truck in front had the exact same number as my car, I followed for a while, dash cam recording, after about 5min it dawned on me it was a green plate. DOH !!

Lock him up and look for more criminal activity in his property, check the bank accounts, his workers, all his children and relatives no matter where they live and and the whole village.  I bet some others learned how to get cheap cars from him.
