In a dramatic turn of events, a 38-year-old Chinese national suspected of fraud remains on the run after a daring escape from Pattaya police station. Li Jian evaded custody by leaping from a second-floor window while officers were momentarily distracted during his questioning.

 

Li was initially detained by immigration police at Don Mueang airport in Bangkok. He was attempting to board a flight to Da Nang, Vietnam, when Pol Maj Gen Choengron Rimpadee of Immigration Division 2 apprehended him. His arrest followed a complaint lodged by a fellow Chinese citizen, leading to an arrest warrant issued by the Pattaya provincial court.

 

Investigations revealed that Li and the complainant were acquaintances. Li had allegedly proposed a currency exchange deal, offering Chinese yuan in return for 38,712.77 USDT (a Tether cryptocurrency), valued at about 1.26 million baht. However, Li never delivered the yuan, prompting his friend to seek police intervention.

 

After his arrest at the airport, Li was handed over to Pattaya City police station. It was during interrogation on the building's second floor that Li exploited the officers' brief distraction to make his escape through a window, despite reportedly injuring himself in the fall. He has since evaded capture, and authorities have launched a manhunt to apprehend him.

Might have been an idea to cuff him, perhaps to a large piece of furniture.

I wonder what caused the distraction?  In this land of inept police forces, is there one more useless than Pattaya Plod?

I have to believe that the police must have been momentarily  distracted by the sound of several large bundles of baht hitting the floor...

"Ohh!!!  Look....!!"

[AustinRacing]

Surprised nobody suggested bribing the police to let him go. This happens all the time.

Fraud suspects seem to be rather  good at escaping police capture.

The Major General who personally apprehended the suspect will not be pleased.
