Police in Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, disguised themselves as food delivery riders to arrest a man wanted on firearms charges.

 

The operation, carried out on 16 August, was led by Pol Col Sarawut Nuchanart, superintendent of Bang Lamung Police Station. Acting on intelligence that the suspect was hiding in the area, officers devised a covert plan to approach him without raising suspicion.

 

Members of the investigation team donned rider uniforms, wigs and casual clothing to blend in with local residents. Once in position, they moved in swiftly and detained the 43-year-old man, a native of Chaiyaphum province.

 

The arrest was made under a warrant issued by Phu Khieo Provincial Court on 12 October 2023 (No. 119/2566), charging the suspect with unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.

 

Following his capture, the man was transferred to Kaeng Khro Police Station in Chaiyaphum, the jurisdiction where the warrant originated, for further legal proceedings.

 

Police hailed the operation as a successful example of creative tactics in pursuing fugitives while minimising the risk of confrontation.

Must have seen it in the movies, although Hollywood finds a better wig!

I'd never open my door to someone with such a curly-whirley haircut.

Is that a wig? 

 

He looks like a Gollywog 

He must have taken off his red nose after the arrest.
