webfact Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Thai caption: "Personal Protection" Picture: Sanook Police had an easy arrest to make at Zeer Street shopping mall in Rangsit, north of Bangkok. An informant had told them where to find Somchai, 40, named in a Lomsak court warrant in December 2003 for assault with an illegal weapon and other weapons offences. It was two years before the statute of limitations ran out but the cops got their man as he strolled buying things. Identification was easy as the chain was identical to one pictured in a Thai ID card used for the warrant. He admitted to everything and said he had been wearing his Phra Somdej protection amulet since 2012. He'd been hiding out as a security guard for years. Now he is on his way back north via the Ayuthaya Highway police after cops from the HP got the tip about the wanted man, reported Sanook -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-09-29 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates .

Speaks volumes about the thoroughness of checks to issue security licences. What type of checks are done, after buying uniform from a shop and few cuffs, batons, sunnies 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
