Col. Pawatchai Sudsakhon of the Pattaya City Police Station last night.Pawatchai said the group – three men and one woman – would enter homes of people “involved in narcotics” and identify themselves as soldiers, police and anti-narcotics agents.“After that, they would take the victims to a safe house and test their urine,” Pawatchai said. “Then they would extort the victims of money in exchange for their freedom. If the victims didn’t have money, they would assault them and detain them.”Full story: http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1446464637&typecate=06§ion= -- Khaosod English 2015-11-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silent Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Prepare for next week's announcement of further investigation leading to a bigger gang of fakes extorting farangs over the years. Unfortunately but they managed to elude police and army personnel in their joint effort to rid the country of undesirables. Investigation continuing.

jalansanitwong Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 What strikes me the most is how ugly all the people are in the photo. Pattaya is not exactly renowned for its beautiful people is it? I cant remember the last time i saw a pic of a pretty girl in Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
