CHONBURI — Police said Tuesday they’re looking for three armed men, including one dressed as a cop – who attempted to abduct a man from his home in Chonburi.

 

Thanongsak Lueng-on, 30, told reporters the men identified themselves as policemen and ordered him to go with them to a police station for questioning. Thanongsak said the men, who carried handguns, only fled after realizing that his sister-in-law filmed the altercation, footage of which she posted on social media.

1 dressed as a policeman, maybe he was.

Doing a bit of moonlighting.

that is unnerving news.  appears they were not quite seasoned criminals and panicked. the reason for the abduction also

has not been indicated.

...question is....is the 'victim' guilty of something that would prompt such an action...???

ALWAYS call to check anyone turning up, people. This happens a lot more than made public.

With their professional approach to the "arrest" and its final outcome, they looked and acted like cops to me.  

Well it makes a change from fighting off a bloke dressed as a woman.

Really?  How would you know if it's not publicised?

We have/had a different circle of friends/associates perhaps and not by choice i might add. I will leave that there for a rainy day perhaps.

Real Pattaya cops do not act in a 'professional' manner.  In fact they do not act at all.
