PHUKET: -- Police are still searching for two men who escaped from the back of a caged pickup truck yesterday while being taken to Phuket Provincial Court to be sentenced for possession of Category 1 drugs with intent to sell.

 

At 1pm yesterday (May 3), Wichit Police were informed that two men who had been arrested on Tuesday (May 2) for drug possession had escaped from the vehicle which was transferring them to Phuket Provincial Court.

 

The two men were said to have made their getaway via Soi Paisan on Chao Fa East Rd close to Dowroong Wittaya School.

 

Officers from Wichit, Chalong and Phuket City Police Stations set up a blockade on Soi Paisan and nearby areas in the hope of recapturing the men.

 

However, after one hour police gave up their search.

 

Soon after officers were informed that a rubbish truck driver had seen the two men steal a bicycle from the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) Wichit office and ride away from the area.

 

Police managed to track down the bicycle, which had been left outside the toilets in Wichit public park on Patthanathongthin Rd, but were unable to find the escaped men.

escaped? or bribed?

However, after one hour police gave up their search.

must have been time to go home.

escaped from "caged pick-up": police forgot to lock, or they didn't have a padlock because of budget reallocation.

 

Officers set up a blockade on Soi Paisan and nearby areas in the hope of recapturing the men. However, after one hour police gave up their search: They just couldn't take it anymore.

No, it was lunch time. They have a set time for their noodles and a quickie at the Go Go Bar! This is Phuket where the police don't stay at the police station. They are busy! What do you expect them to work overtime?

Thailand wake up! , it is the 21st century and you are using pickups as transfer vehicles, shame on you.

  Look at how other countries use secured vans and shackle the prisoners as well. Why do you think they

do that. Well criminals will always try what they can to escape, just like these two guys did.  DUH.

Geezer

These police are a national joke.

Handcuffed to the vehicle they would have been going nowhere!
