webfact Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 2 held for extortion The Nation BANGKOK: -- A Bangkok policeman and an accomplice have been arrested for allegedly extorting Bt8,000 from a Thai-Indian man, police announced at a news conference early yesterday. Police Snr Sgt-Major Wattana Changsab, from Pracha Cheun precinct, and Arthit Asunee Na Ayutthaya were nabbed along with Bt8,000 they allegedly got from Sirikan Divali, 45, along with a loaded pistol and a police motorcycle. Sirikan, after collecting debts from others, was allegedly robbed by the duo at Soi Lat Phrao 106 and clubbed on his helmeted head. As a 191 police patrol passed by, Sirikan hit Arthit's face, before the duo fled. Sirikan chased the pair until their motorbike rammed into a stall and police arrested them. Sirikan said Wattana had taken some Bt30,000 in cash from him in front of Big C at Lat Phrao mall last year, so he filed a complaint at Chokechai police station. The duo confessed to committing robberies at various places, each time targeting Indians, who they assumed would not file a police complaint. They claimed they needed money to pay football-betting debts, police said. -- The Nation 2012-06-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply can't envision a policeman having a gun and ridding a police motorcycle. Amazing Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about, 'Thai policeman involved in violent robberies' Pair target indians in crime spree One transfer to an inactive post coming right up, or maybe he's not high enough up the greasy pole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pseudolus Posted June 20, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2012 They cut the article short which would have followed thus; "The pair passed the 38,000 baht to their superiors and have now been promoted as assigned to work in the lower Sukhumvit area (1, 3, 5) on a special assignment to increase the net worth of their bosses. In other news, a leading police officer has announced that the profits from his gambling syndicate increased due to recent police inactivity". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdo Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Am I reading this right ? They carried out this robbery from the back of a police motorcycle !!! Does this mean that the next time I see a blue flashing light in my rear view mirror it might not be the police racing to the scene of a robbery but instead could in fact be them racing from the scene of a robbery....do I still have to give way if this is the case ?

ginjag Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I am so shocked to read about Royal Thai Police being involved in ANYTHING wrong, Their franchise for pocket money I never believed, and now this. Someone has got it in for them for sure out of plain jealousy. Ha Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Considered Opinion Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I am shocked deeply, by the thought that outside of LoS, readers can find that the Royal Thai Police could have had, among it's ranks, extortionists. What next? A BiB being found to have murdered someone? This, people, is completely wrong. I mean we all hold the BiB up to our children and give them a goal in life.. Whatever will we do now.. I suppose next, some politicians son, who happens to be a police officer - maybe a Sergeant, will be found to have killed someone in a bar because the victim pointed his foot at him. Ahhhh Thailand.
