A cannabis vendor in the central province of Nakhon Pathom jumped onto the back of a speeding pickup to demand payment from his fleeing client. The ganja thief then shot the vendor in the leg after he leapt from the moving vehicle.

 

Officers from Pho Kaew Police Station rushed to investigate the shooting scene in front of Soi Tessaban in the Sam Parn district of Nakhon Pathom and discovered 27 year old Thanatsak Praphaporn, who sustained a gunshot wound to his leg.

 

Following medical treatment, Thanatsak cooperated with the police and provided a detailed account of the incident. He revealed that he worked as a cannabis vendor and received an order from a man he met on Facebook.

 

After agreeing on the product and its associated cost, the client visited Thanatsak’s shop to collect the cannabis. However, the client refused to pay and fled the shop in a white Isuzu D-Max. Thanatsak jumped onto the back of the pickup and knocked on the rear window to tell the driver to stop.

Not me.

I think I would have tried harder to get out of the road.  He's lucky someone didn't plow into him and kill him.

I think people who own gold are dangerous because they always rob gold shops.

Thieves with firearms have always been dangerous.  Don't think it's a pot smoker's issue.

 

Possibly stolen to sell, not different if someone stole a case of good whiskey, to sell, and not drink.

Pot stealers tend to be dangerous. Pot smokers, not so much.
