Pattaya Police Arrest Several Outlaws Motorcycle Gang Members, Including the Alleged Leader, in Pattaya after Murder of Hans Peter Mack
By Tanakorn Panyadee 

 

 

Pattaya — The Pattaya police arrested the leader of the so-called “Outlaws” gang, along with several other foreign members in connection with the alleged murderer of Hans Peter Mack.

Deputy National Police Chief Pol. Gen. Surachate Hakparn held a press conference Friday afternoon, July 21st, 2023, to declare a successful crackdown on what he called the transnational criminal gang dubbed “Outlaws” in Pattaya, Chonburi province.

 

 

According to Pol. Gen. Surachate, the motorbike club was involved in criminal activities and was connected with Olaf Thorsten Brinkmann, the alleged ringleader of a group who murdered German businessman Hans Peter Mack and concealed his dismembered body in a freezer in Chonburi’s Banglamung district.

 

The police believed Brinkmann was a crucial member of the Outlaws group, which subsequently led to a crackdown on the overall motorcycle club. The leader of the group was later arrested in Pattaya and identified as Mr. Thomas Ginner, an Australian national.

 

The authorities confiscated various items from Ginner, including a Harley Davidson motorcycle and other belongings connected to the Outlaw gang.

it really is amazing how fast the BiB spring into action when a foreigner commits a crime in Thailand.

 

When a Thai commits a crime against a foreigner on the other hand....

Never fear....it won't be ALL gang leaders....or members for that matter.

Revenue counts...and some of these guys are big donors!

Considering the effort related to the Cyanide killer I am surprised at that comment. 

Looking forward to seeing a few BIB's cruising towards Soi 9 on the confiscated Hardleys. It will make a pleasant change from seeing them on their sister's pink Scoopy. 

Very good police work! 

Thank you.

did the cyanide killer kill a farang?

Looks like the Joker lopped of his hands for starters, but ironically the outlaws are being hunted by the outlaws ????

 

Names and nationalities

 

Mr Thomas - refers to Thomas Ginner (or Ginsner as Thai media report)

And Thomas Ginner/Ginsner is reported as being Austrian (note this has been changed twice to Australian in previous posts - there is a difference).

Nah, we don't really care: Austrian, Australian, LGBTQXYZ, he, she, it, trans, twink, convict. 

Don't matter Mate.

So, other than being members of a bike club, a few minor immigration infractions and one to found to have taken some drugs, what exactly are the big major crimes they have done? 

 

And I am someone who really doesn't like biker gangs, but this is dangerous ground when you can just round up people based on knowing someone. This looks more like a RTP photo op and PR stunt.

In a significant crackdown on international crime, Pattaya law enforcement carried out a successful operation against the notorious ‘Outlaws’ motorbike gang.

 

The group has been identified as a major player in criminal activities, with links to the chilling murder case of German businessman Hans Peter Mack. The subsequent operation led by Deputy National Police Chief Pol. Gen. Surachate Hakparn resulted in the arrest of key members.

 

The press conference held on the afternoon of July 21st, 2023, marked a major victory against organised crime in Pattaya, located in Chonburi province. The ‘Outlaws’ gang, known for its diverse international makeup and unlawful activities, came under the scanner following connections established with Olaf Brinkmann. Brinkmann stands accused as the ringleader in the gruesome Mack murder, where Mack’s dismembered body was hidden in a freezer in Chonburi’s Banglamung district.

 

Thomas Ginner, identified as the leader of the ‘Outlaws’, was the prime focus of this operation. Among the items confiscated from Ginner were a Harley Davidson motorbike and other personal belongings connected with the Outlaw gang.

Hopefully Big Bike Week won't be canceled.

Funny, the cops with the assault equipment : one has an US bag, the other a "Polizei" (Germany) helmet ????

I thought it strange they were at the back and left it to the guy in t shirt and flip flops to knock the door.

Even heard of cannon fodder?

Also, I am curious. How did you see that the guy knocking on the door had flip flops? Did some guys on the picture stand aside just for you'?

it would be the bees knees if they focused on the real outlaws and gang leaders in this country.

The RTP are taking the opportunity to send a message and make some money from the assets the foreigners will have now donated.
