Police to run plates of Phuket slow loris tout

Kongleaphy Keam

PHUKET: Phuket police vowed to check the licence plate number of a motorcycle ridden by a slow loris tout who was caught on camera pushing the protected animal on tourists at Surin Beach last month.

“We appreciate you forwarding the evidence to us, especially as these images show the man’s face and his motorcycle's licence plate number,” Cherng Talay Police Superintendent Serm Kwannimit told Phuket Gazette this morning.

The images were reportedly forwarded to police shortly after being taken by a Gazette reader last month. However, lack of action and the surfacing of a slow loris tout earlier this week on Kata Noi Beach (story here) prompted the reader to renew her efforts.

Very confusing headline, but I suppose it did the trick as I had to check it out!

Hope they catch the perp, and all others who use endangered species, or wild animals as an illegal way of making a living.

A few weeks ago, a woman (Chinese tourist, I think) got bitten by a boa constrictor while she was attempting to kiss it. First impressions "Som num na" (?), secondly, what happened to the "owner" of the snake?

Didn't that place get shut down?

Didn't that place get shut down?

Didn't it open up again, under stricter regulations?

Anyone think Slow Loris and Thai police could be related?

Winner of the most confusing headline for 2016!!!

Hopefully!

They can run number plates in a minute flat, I've witnessed them. No excuses. Unless 'Well, it's just an animal'.

Oh! you have to pay if want them to do any work for you.

Come on! Fairs Fair right. Nothing is free is it.

There was a couple pushing slow loris in front of Central Pattaya for months and months. I sent photos etc to animal protection ngo in BKK, said they'd get right on it. 6 months later one of the two was arrested.... probably still at it.....

Maybe they are "walking" the plates, not "running" them.

Checking plates is the easy part, it's doing the follow up police work that's a problem, and, in this case, potentially not very lucrative.

somewhere along the evolutionary trail, the fury one got the brains.

No arrest yet?

Do they care about this?
