A Thai woman filed a complaint alleging that four men posing as police officers kidnapped her for a 300,000 baht ransom. One of the suspects involved was the ex-boyfriend of the victim’s daughter. He was arrested by police while the other three suspects remain at large.

 

The 48 year old victim, Patcharee, told officers at Mueang Prachuap Kiri Khan Police Station that the incident happened at 8.30am on Wednesday, September 20. She was riding a motorbike home in the eastern province of Prachuap Kiri Khan when a white Honda pickup cut her path.

 

One of the men exited the vehicle and swiftly covered her head with a black cloth. He identified himself as a police officer and brandished a firearm to force her to get into the car. Inside the car, the victim heard one of the men address another person as Ngae.

 

“Ngae, what do we do next?”

 

According to Patcharee’s daughter, 26 year old Pornpimon, Ngae might be a friend of her ex-boyfriend.

 

Ngae contacted Pornpimon and told her that her mother was in the custody of Provincial Police Region 7 and then later called her again and put her mother on the line.

Their only offence seems to have been impersonating a police officer otherwise they have copied the actions of some RTP perfectly.

Probably the giveaway was a semblance of professionalism.?

She knew they were fake cops because real ones would have asked for a much bigger ransom.
