Fake Police Officer escapes “real” Pattaya Police custody during Hospital visit

PATTAYA:--A fake Police Officer was arrested by Region 2 Police in East Pattaya early on Tuesday Morning, who then escaped Police custody and currently remains at-large.

The bizarre incident began when officers were conducting routine checks on individuals inside Soi Tamsamakee Temple with the intention of reducing drug-related crimes in the area. They spotted one man on his mobile phone on the street and decided to approach him. The man claimed to be Police Lieutenant Saitawoot from the Metropolitan Police Bureau based in Bangkok and produced a Police ID card which appeared genuine.

The Officers were still suspicious and conducted checks which revealed he did not work for the Police Department and was not registered as a Police Officer. The fake Officer was escorted to his house where pictures of him in full Police Uniform were found as were two Police Jackets and a fake gun. He claimed he would pretend to be Police to protect his mother who owed money to illegal money lenders and he hoped they would stay away from the house thinking her son was a Bangkok Police Officer.

Khun Saitawoot was then taken to Banglamung Police Station and charged. At this point we assumed the story was over but when journalists left, Khun Saitawoot claimed he felt unwell and was taken to Banglamung Hospital and during an examination, he was left alone which allowed him to walk out of the Hospital
