Police practice snatching theft response

PATTAYA:--Pattaya police practiced their response to the city’s many snatching robberies in hopes of catching more of the thieves on motorbikes in the act.

 

Pol. Lt. Col. Korn Samakanay led the July 13 drill for suppression, investigation and traffic inspectors in South Pattaya.

The exercise saw two “thieves” in full-facemask motorcycle helmets snatch a handbag from a “tourist” on Pratamnak Hill’s Soi Kasetsin 5 and ride off toward Jomtien Beach.

 

The theft report was called in by the victim and patrol police were dispatched to the scene, where they quickly took the description of the bandits and called for backup.

unfortunately both of the volunteers " bandits" were shot to death during the first drill.

 

next weeks exercise is proper handgun safety.

I try to learn a new Thai word or phrase every day. and today's word is ชี้ไปที่ (chi pai ti) .....to point at.

They are joking aren't they ? I mean, the only time you ever see that many cops in one place is usually on a Friday along one of the many checkpoints on the railway road

All well and good, but this excercise seems to be carried out in daylight hours whilst most offences are after dark.

How? No-one answers or a Thai-only speaker if you're lucky.

Pattaya police do not need to practise snatching theft - they do it every month.  Their response is a blank face.

Why do the police here come up with stupid ideas for catching crooks?

You know nets to throw over the crooks, then stupid unwieldy sticks, now many policemen surrounding a motorbike.

More like the Keystone cops everyday, keep it up boys, getting my daily dose of humour from your antics.

How many bag snatchers they actually caught so far?
