Just been informed police today shot dead a person at Lotus Express in SSCC during a robbery

Aren't there 2 Lotus Express on Siam CC ?. 1 is near Sukhumvit and 1 near Wannasin Market

There are three but not sure which one was involved in this story.

Either the robber was really slow and possibly retarded or the police just happened to be eating som tam next door. A bit unusual for the Pattaya police to show up on time. Took them over an hour when my mates house had an intruder.

I can confirm it happened and I guess we will have the story on Pattaya One tommorow. I am waiting for the full details.

The Banglamung station has only two patrol cars on regular duty and most calls rely on police-box call outs if someone is available at those undermanned points. Nongprue station has one more car but if they are far away it can easily take an hour to reach somewhere. The reality is that the whole of Pattaya is understaffed and under funded when it comes to regular police. The local Municipal Police are often a better bet in an emergency and as yet we don't know which branch was involved in this case or whether they were Thai police volunteers.

Under funded yes but overstaffed ? questionable

I said, and I guess you meant, understaffed not overstaffed.

And I was talking of regular police not Traffic, Highway, Tourist, City Hall etc.

The Thai Police volunteers aren't armed are they ????? thats a worrying thought.
