PHUKET: -- Police have arrested the two men who escaped a locked cage while being transported to Phuket Court on drugs charges earlier this month after one of them fell through a house ceiling to the surprise of officers raiding the house.

 

Fugitives Suriya Lakpet and Wasurat Mulikabut, both 21, managed to free themselves from their handcuffs and kick open the door to the cage on the back of a Chalong Police pickup truck while being transported to Phuket Provincial Court to face drug charges on May 3.

 

The men had been arrested on drug-possession charges in Rawai the day before.

 

Suriya and Wasurat were said to have made their getaway via Soi Paisan on Chao Fa East Rd, close to Dowroong Wittaya School, while trying to look inconspicuous on a blue bicycle. 

 

Maj Ritthichai Chumchuay of the Phuket Provincial Police explained that the arrests came yesterday (May 24) after Suriya literally fell through the ceiling of a home in Wichit that his officers were raiding for drugs after receiving a tip-off.

 

The officers were raiding a house in Moo Baan Tharn Thong 3 at 5:15pm, he explained.

 

At the house, officers found Panuwat Yaifai, 27, in possession of 16.9 grams of crystal meth (ya ice), 2.04g of marijuana and a home-made pen gun designed to fire .22-calibre bullets, Maj Ritthichai reported.

Slippery through those cuffs and cage, but done in by Henny Penny - "The Sky is Falling".

Another escape from police custody........ I make that 3 counts in a week so far.

I guess business took a dive!!!

The police could certainly improve their reputations by cuffing these guys to something inside their police vehicles,  glad this

guy just dropped in and helped the police out this time.
