Two fake police cops remain at large after they tasered a Thai man, stole his pickup, mobile phone, and 3,000 in stolen cash from the victim in western Thailand.

 

A picture of a shirtless man surrounded by police officers was shared on social media with a caption warning netizens to beware of the fake police officers in question. The victim in the picture lost his pickup, cash, and mobile phone to the fake cops. The picture was captured when he sought help from real police officers.

 

The man, 25 year old Jeerawat Chamnarnvate, later gave an interview with Channel 3 about his distressing experience on July 24. Before starting the story, he showed reporters evidence of his injuries.

Jeerawat told reporters that he is a soymilk seller at a market in the central province of Kanchanaburi. When he was returning home from work in his white Toyota Revo pickup, he stumbled upon what seemed like an accident scene with an overturned motorcycle and a parked sedan obstructing the road.

Hard to tell sometimes.

How do we know they were fake if not caught.
