Police have arrested six suspects who allegedly robbed a local official and five defence volunteers of their service pistols, about 20,000 methamphetamine pills and a car in Rattaphum district of Songkhla Province last week.

 

The suspects also tried, unsuccessfully, to free a group of drug suspects, who had previously been arrested.

 

The daring attack took place on October 18th, when an assistant district chief officer and five volunteers led a group of drug suspects to a village in Kamphaeng Phet sub-district for searches for illicit drugs.

They robbed a local official?

It just gets better every day.????????

Sounds like the entire village is deep in the drugs trade, sack the planner for bad preparation and knowledge of the area

I was starting to doubt this story until this statement made it all sound very familiar:

 

"Some of the drug suspects claimed that the local officials had demanded an unspecified amount of ransom in exchange for their freedom."

Quote " Pol Gen Damrongsak Kittipraphat has vowed to take tough action against any officials involved in the demand for a ransom from the suspects as alleged".

 

He's having a very bust start to his watch.

This is the week old story that never made it on here where the police were left in their underpants with their guns clothes and cars stolen in a so called drugs bust that went wrong at the carry on policing studio remake ????
