PATTAYA: -- The chief of police in Pattaya has announced the arrest of a gang of three men who were stealing motorcycles at the resort and selling them off in Cambodia.

 

The gang targeted only Honda Zoomer X bikes.

 

Arrested yesterday were ringleader Phanthep Phraejai, 27, from Sakon Nakhorn, Amponsak Phondech, 37, from Sa Kaew and 30 year old Suwat Rungreuang from Prajinburi, reported Tnews.

 

Also helping police with their enquiries were two females including Phanthep's wife Rose.

 

Station chief Apichai Krobpetch said that Phanthep stole the bikes from a variety of locations in Pattaya while the other two suspects transported them in a pick-up covered in canvas to hide the bikes.

 

The bikes were taken to the border with Cambodia where they were sold for 15-20,000 baht each.

 

Apichai said the gang had committed at least 20 thefts.

 

A Vigo pick-up and two Zoomer X bikes were taken into evidence as the enquiry now widens.

This is a gang of idiots to allpow themselves to be caught by Pattaya's BIB!  Did they, perhaps steal a policeman's bike?  That's the only reason I can think that would stir the Kwaistone cops into action.

How can all these bikes transport the Thai Cambodian border without any documentation?

You don't need any documentation. Only a bit of money / brown envelope(s) . Or shares in their "business" for some officials. 

 

It's the corruption that makes it possible. 

And someone in Pattaya didn't receive a brown envelope last month, or one with not enough content, that's they were caught.
