Officers are set to rearrest a Thai car thief two days after the suspect successfully escaped from Mueang Chiang Rai Police Station in northern Thailand despite being handcuffed.

 

The thief stole a black Mitsubishi from a Thai woman in the northern province of Chiang Rai on January 13. He even posted a video of himself and the stolen car on his TikTok account as if he were the rightful owner of the car.

 

Mueang Chiang Rai Police Station officers initially identified the thief as a Burmese man named Jalor and managed to arrest him on Friday, January 19. Jalor was detained at the police station waiting for a court trial. Police later handcuffed Jalor and took him from his cell for questioning at about 6pm that day.

However, the interrogation was interrupted by a complaining local. The interviewing officer asked a colleague to take Jalor to an interrogation room while he listened to the local’s complaint. After receiving the complaint, the officer went to the room to question Jalor only to find he had disappeared and the room was empty.

Police checked the CCTV camera and discovered that Jalor had left the police station in handcuffs.

Is this how the cops see us, if someone wants to make a report, we are just complaining?

Well, that depends...   the complaining local might not have been making a report, he could have been just been  complaining that the police were s#it at their jobs... 

Good man.  Good luck on your escape.  Stay away from busy areas.
