Man posing as undercover cop with BB gun arrested in Chon Buri

[webfact]

Chaos erupted in the municipality of Ban Bueng, Chon Buri province, when a 40 year old man, under the influence of drugs, terrorised residents by brandishing a gun and claiming to be an undercover police officer. The incident occurred around 10.30pm yesterday, January 23, and ended with the man’s arrest by local authorities.

 

The man, identified only as Sorachai to protect his privacy, had attracted the attention of the community due to his erratic behaviour and incoherent speech. Sorachai’s alarming actions prompted a swift response from the police, who attempted to negotiate with him to ensure a peaceful resolution. However, Sorachai, who was wearing a black vest, remained uncooperative.

 

In response to the escalating situation, community leaders were called upon to assist with the negotiations. It was during a moment of distraction that Sorachai, along with Bee, a woman presumed to be his wife, was apprehended by a combined force of community members and police officers.
