[snoop1130]

 

A former police officer reportedly threatened two members of staff from a finance company with a gun after they tried to seize a pawned car in his possession at Soi Phetchakasem Road 75 in the Nong Khaem district of Bangkok.

 

A viral video of the incident was recorded by a finance company member of staff while they were trying to seize the car at the Bangkok house on August 2. In the video, one staff member is seen applying strips of white tape onto the red Ford Mustang’s doors, hood, and various parts, in preparation for the vehicle’s seizure.

 

Suddenly, a man in a green shirt and shorts and a woman in a yellow outfit rushed to the car. The man is seen brandishing a gun. He shouted at the finance staff…

 

“What the f*ck are you doing to my car!”

 

The man then tore the tape off the car door, hopped into the driver’s seat, and drove away from the scene at high speed. A member of the finance staff, who recorded the video, can be heard saying she would file a complaint at the police station.

 

A Thai woman later revealed to Channel 3 that the man and woman seen in the video were not the owners of the vehicle. She was the owner but faced a few financial issues and decided to pawn her car with the couple for 700,000 baht.
