Well fortunately that hasn't happened in Pattaya..........

I am glad they have taken 3 thieves off the street, and I hope they keep them off the streets at least until Songkran is done with.

we never know what, if any prison sentence is given to these thieves. are they just fined and allowed back on the streets? I for one would be interested in seeing what they get.

surprise they were caught, not bad not bad pattaya police

Those 3 on a Honda Wave trying to flee police!!! The mind boggles at how difficult it must have been to catch them. "Quick, somebody block them off! Make sure you're there in front of them by this evening!" "Ok. Do I have time for a plate of somtam?"
