In a crackdown on the use of counterfeit vehicle registration plates, police officers arrested two men while confiscating their vehicles: a Mercedes Benz GLA200 and an Isuzu D-Max pickup truck.

 

A 33 year old man named Phan, from Rop Wiang, Chiang Rai, was apprehended for using a counterfeit vehicle registration plate on his Mercedes, claiming he bought it online for 3,000 baht due to its attractive number. Another man, 30 years old Prathin, from Fang, Chiang Mai, was caught with a counterfeit plate on his Isuzu truck, stating it was bought by his father today.

 

The arrest operation led by Police Lieutenant Colonel Charoenkiat Pankaew, acting on behalf of the Highway Police Division, was initiated following orders to apprehend users of counterfeit vehicle registration plates. This directive was issued particularly after notifications from the Suspect Vehicle Command Center (SVCC), prompting immediate investigation and verification.
