A gas station worker pursued a middle-aged man who robbed 500 baht worth of petrol through three provinces, ending the chase 160 kilometers away. The 53-year-old man, originally from Khon Kaen, swiftly left a local gas station in Samut Songkhram province without paying for the fuel he had filled in his Toyota Vios. This triggered a high-speed chase that stretched across three provinces.

 

The highway police in Phetcha Buri managed to stop the man's car at a junction in Prachuap Khiri Khan. A popular social media page, known for sharing sensational clips, captured this high-speed pursuit and shared it with their audience, thus sparking public curiosity about the case.

 

An online video published today reveals the gas station worker diligently chasing the man, determined to catch the petrol thief. The post has attracted various reactions online, highlighting the man's bold attempt to dodge payment for the fuel and the great lengths the worker went to so as to bring him to justice.

 

The commitment shown by the gas station worker in chasing the offender over such a long distance has generated praise and support from many social media users who have been watching the story unfold. The incident symbolizes the challenges faced by service industry workers and their determination to perform their duties.

 

The widely circulated video serves as a warning to potential offenders while also showcasing the commitment individuals like the gas station worker exhibit during their work. The cooperation between the gas station staff and the police to catch the fleeing thief underlines the significance of community vigilance in maintaining law and order.

While I say well done mate, I also think that could be a very dangerous thing to do with the amount of nutters, here with guns.

I guess CCTV at the station didn't get his number plate to report theft to the police so they could do the chase?

Maybe even reimburse with the more than 500 baht cost of his outward and return journey from Samut Siongkram in his company owned car and reward his skills in avoiding causing accidents during the chase? 😋

What was he shouting at 9 seconds in ? Sounded suspiciously like Wayne Ker .

Why the H ____ do you always quote whole articles taking up a crap load of space only to make a simple, stupid 1 line comment?

Seems a rather risky thing to be doing for the sake of a 500 baht theft... putting a lot of other road users at risk. Surely the number plates could be used to find the owner.... Ford managed to track my Mrs down through the registration on my old truck!
