Ghost police pickup truck focus of attention

By The Nation 

 

 

Police said they are investigating a reported police pickup truck seen driving out of the residence of former premier Yingluck Shinawatra on August 23.

 

So far they have no clues to which unit it belongs, said a police spokesperson.

 

Pol Colonel Krisana Pattanacharoen, the Royal Thai Police spokesperson said they needed time to discover which police unit the truck belongs to.

 

Led by deputy police chief, Pol General Srivara Rangsibrahmanakul, the force is investigating the issue after some new agencies, including Isra, posted video clips of the police pickup emerging from Yingluck’s residence.

 

Krisana said police are also looking into other related issues, including who helped Yingluck and how she fled the country.

 

They have been in contact with some foreign countries but have not yet received any useful clues about her flight, said Krisana. Thai police diplomats in neighbouring countries, including Cambodia, have been asked to make inquiries in search of useful information.

 

Police are focusing on whether Yingluck’s passport appeared to be stamped on their soil, and whether there could be more than one passport.

 

Srivara said the pickup truck, and whether it helped Yingluck flee the country, was the focus of a meeting today.

 

Srivara said he had received some progress reports, but would not disclose details.

How hard is it to know who owns the police car ? It's called a registration check in most countries then again it might be an impersonating police car with impersonating police

I have heard on good authority Cinderella loaned Yingluck her own personal Princess Pumpkin coach (which did not carry number plates) knowing that it would not be noticed by security who would be busy at the time playing with their smart phones.

Thai police have always problems to check registration numbers.

 

I was once hit by a motorcycle which had a red license plate, owned by Mityon Pattaya.

 

However they knew that from the time I made the report, as I could understand from their conversation in Thai, it took 45 days to find out which motorbike had the number attached.

Nah! Can't be that truck. They aren't allowed to show photos of the suspects anymore!  It looks like it or the driver, might have been injured during interrogation though. If you look in the back left of the picture you can even see doctors and nurses checking on the patient.

" So far they have no clues to which unit it belongs, said a police spokesperson."

 

so they can't ask at "roll call" or at a start of a shift who was driving a truck in and out of the compound? if only to get everyone on the record?

Clueless is their answer, and it appears to be quite accurate.

[Anythingleft?]

The more that gets written about the authorities the more fantastical they appear. To be fair I'm having a hard time believing that the country is as well developed as it is the more I see and hear

But what about the CCTV ?   You mean they didn't have the Shinawatra properties covered ?

[Deez]

Do we really need another farce where the police and government pretend they don't know how she escaped....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[elgenon]

If that is the truck with all the officers standing there, why couldn't they ask the officers?

Copper:- Well Sarge we saw this coming out of her house....it was moving at speed.

Sarge:- Well did you make any attempt to stop it?

Copper:- Hell no, we were so scared we ran for the hills.

Sarge:- But there could have someone inside it....you should have checked.

Copper:- Duh ! 

Sarge:- Never mind. We have this vehicle wheel clamped back at the yard and we are doing forensics on it.

Copper:- With respect Sarge how can you do forensics on that?

Sarge:- Well we have our experts on the job..they have special sniffing apparatus to detect any hint of Chanel Number 5...you do know that was her favourite perfume.

Copper:- Yes okay....You are onto it then Sarge good luck.

Sarge:- We will find her dont worry.

Suspicious vehicles in focus over Yingluck disappearance

By THE NATION

 

DNA samples are collected from a police patrol vehicle which was spotted outside ex-PM Yingluck Shinawatra’s house on the day she was last seen.

 

Police say investigation is ‘making progress’, but no confirmation yet on whether ex-pm has fled the country.

 

POLICE HAVE expanded their investigation to cover suspicious vehicles and online posts in a bid to trace former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s movements before she disappeared ahead of the Supreme Court’s August 25 verdict reading in a dereliction case against her over her government’s rice pledging scheme.

 

There has been no evidence so far to show she has fled or is still within the country, deputy police chief Pol General Srivara Rangsibrahmanakul told a press conference yesterday.

 

 

Srivara said police were particularly interested in a police pickup truck reportedly seen driving out of the former premier’s residence on August 23. 

 

Investigators learned later that it was a vehicle from the Lat Phrao Police Station, which has jurisdiction covering the area, on a regular patrol. 

 

However, Srivara said he had ordered that the truck be checked to see whether traces of DNA other than that of the officers, could be found and, if so, to whom they belonged.

 

Srivara said investigators were focusing on a suspicious car that could have been involved with the former PM’s escape but he refused to give any further details.

 

“The investigation is progressing. We need time to investigate further,” he said.

 

There has been much public speculation about the police vehicle since the Isra News Agency released a video clip of the pickup driving out of Yingluck’s residence on August 23.

 

 

Srivara said yesterday that police wanted to check everything to do with the vehicle, including DNA traces, so they could be sure it had nothing to do with Yingluck’s disappearance.

 

The Central Investigation Bureau has also been instructed to check Yingluck’s Facebook posts in the days before she disappeared. It confirmed the authenticity of some posts from that time but it declined to disclose any details of their findings.

 

Srivara revealed police had found another vehicle they suspected could have been involved in Yingluck’s disappearance.

They said it did not appear in the released video clip but declined to give any further details. He also said that some people thought to have been close to Yingluck had been invited to give their accounts of events on the relevant days, and their accounts had been useful.

 

The deputy chief said police had also received responses from Interpol officers in Cambodia, Singapore, and Dubai, who had confirmed they had no evidence of Yingluck entering these countries. The border police had not found any trace of her slipping through the borders either, he said, but added that it was possible for her to have slipped through unnoticed.

 

Based on investigations over the past seven days, police have not yet confirmed whether Yingluck has already fled the country or is still in Thailand since there is no evidence either way, Srivara said.

 

“But I insist that the investigation has made some progress,” he said.

 

Meanwhile, Army commander-in-chief General Chalermchai Sitthisart conceded yesterday that there had been no progress in finding any evidence in Thailand’s border areas that might be relevant to the investigation.

 

The Army chief, in his capacity as secretary of the National Council for Peace and Order, said the junta had not abandoned their hope of finding Yingluck and he was not worried that the ongoing inquiry would cause unrest. 

 

The issue needed time, he said, while conceding the ongoing investigation into her disappearance had encountered problems.

 

The case might need to be handled by officials responsible for areas within the country, he said, implying the police should take charge of it.

 

Asked whether the junta would just try to leave this behind, he said: 

 

“I have a good memory of things. The Army chief has vowed to report on progress, if there is any.”

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, meanwhile, said he had not received any information that suggested progress had been made.

I think they'll find the police truck is registered in Myanmar.

Actually it will likely be impossible to determine who was driving it.  It is prob from a certain precinct but even that is not necessarily so.  

And who would admit to being the driver.  This is but the first or another move to obfuscate by anybody who finds themselves under any spot light.  It can go on forever.
