PHUKET: Provincial Police Region 8 have announced the seizure of 165 motorcycles and 192 arrests for gun-related offenses in an anti-crime campaign held earlier this month.

 

Provincial Police Region 8 Deputy Commissioner Pol Maj Gen Thaworn Saengrit announced the arrests and mass motorbike seizures yesterday (Nov 22) at a press conference held at Region 8 Police headquarters, located at the northern end of the island.

 

Maj Gen Thavorn said that a crackdown on motorbike street races and other offenses was held on Nov 11-20, following the widespread news in the Thai media on Nov 6-7 of a group of hundreds of “racing motorcycles” persuading each other on social media to go on a merit-making tour to Phu Thap Boek, in Phetchabun Province, under the name "Trip No Bathing".

Crush all the bikes, the owners will spend tens of thousands to pay the credit companies and stop the racing overnight

Not too sure you are allowed to do things that have a real impact over here.

not their bikes to crush.. as a large majority would be in finance with little or no hope now of being paid off. Crushing the firearms is better. IMHO.

Crush the bikes... easy solution.

And the police did this on their own?  Me thinks there's something missing from this story??

The young persons street racing have the least common sense of all the motor bike riders here in Thailand. Suspend their license, that is if they have one, impound their motor bikes with an hefty recovery fee.
