Just after 2am on Saturday, there was drama at a Police Checkpoint in North Pattaya which was manned by Police and Civil Volunteers, known in Thai as “O-po-po-lor”.

Two men on a motorbike decided not to stop at the checkpoint which led to a chase by the “O-po-po-lor” who managed to hit the bike, causing it to crash.

The driver and passenger aged 15 and 18 respectively were thrown from the bike and slightly injured.

A gun was found in the seat compartment of the bike and the two men were duly arrested and taken to Pattaya Police Station.

Neither man accepted responsibility for the gun, therefore they were both charged with firearms offences and are currently behind bars awaiting a court appearance on Monday.

more guns

Seems like a lot of firearms in Pattaya.

I agree, always seems guns are everywhere in the Pats!

They didn't know the gun was there. They had only just stolen the bike
