AlexRich Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Where they muscling in on the criminal activities of more established foreign criminals? I would have been more impressed if they were arresting boiler room scammers and fraudulent property developers, who do some real damage to other foreigners, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1Str8 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Were they already wearing those masks prior to the arrest? What's that some kind of Russian camo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 A step in the right direction, these motley crew of organized crimes who found refuge in a sunny, easy place to bland in and resume normal life should be all rounded up and send back to cesspools they came from....

Get Real Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 That´s a good sign! Pattaya has since long time been a place for the foreigners criminal activities in Thailand. 1 hour ago, AlexRich said: Where they muscling in on the criminal activities of more established foreign criminals?

If you do not see drugs and other criminal activities as an enough bad and a big problem, I do believe that there are others here that will. Maybe it was just that they didn´t follow your line in what was most important first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegman Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 What I find troublesome is that the Isreali behind the failed WaterFront is walking around free. Is it not obvious that some back door dealings went on to get approval of this project? Hundreds of purchasers of this and his other failed developments are out huge sums. It certainly looks like fraud has taken place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emster23 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 As they were arrested, I reckon couldn't be all that influential..... " No one was named in the report." influence residual? Makes me think of often times TV and others will print names, addresses etc of victims of crime (easier to rob house if owner in hospital?) but not perps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NextStationBangkok Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Nice try! Register them with bio-metric records, and catch them if they come back again. Keep it up Thai police... Sounds like they only targeted eastern Europeans in a sweep, but there are criminals from other countries too. Hope they continue to keep the Pattaya streets safe from gang lords.

It can never be cleaned up, saying that I believe that Thailand is not alone as the whole world is now in a state of decadence, crime is rife, The world is run by psychopaths, All the world is but a stage, and each and every one of us but an actor.
