Committee Appointed to Investigate Attack on Pattaya Police Superintendent's ... - Pattaya People

 

 

As a result of the recent attack on Pattaya Police Superintendent’s residence at the rear of the police station, a committee has been appointed to investigate the incident.  During New Year’s Eve, the window of the building had been shot at by an unknown drunken man, apparently dressed in police uniform.   Later it was revealed that the assailant was a disgruntled police officer who apparently lost a lot of illegal paybacks due to the Superintendent’s new policy against corruption, of being transparent with police activities and bribes from local businesses were no longer tolerated.  Police Colonel Suwan suggested that as far as he is concerned no criminal charges will be pressed against the suspect. However, further investigation continues and the Superintendent will leave the decision to prosecute with his police superiors in Chonburi.

Integration of Police Forces for Crackdown on Crime - Pattaya People

 

At Pattaya City Hall on Tuesday afternoon, the Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police, Police General A-dul Saeng-sing-Kaew and many high ranking Police officers, came to review tourist safety policies and criminal crackdowns in the Pattaya area.

Police General A-dul said that Pattaya is held to be a very important and well known tourist resort, providing a good economy for all here. But there are many crimes taking place in the area, such as robberies and rapes, which affect the image of Pattaya and Thai land as a tourist destination, so all offenders must be swept out the area to bring confidence to the tourists.

Riot Breaks Out at Pattaya Police Station - Pattaya People

 

Pattaya police had to stop a confrontation at their police station in the early hours of Wednesday morning, when a Turkish man and his Thai girlfriend confronted a Thai couple after an earlier motorcycle accident near Chaimongkol temple.  This incident caused the Turk and the Thai male rider to begin a fight at the accident scene, until police stopped them and brought them back to the police station.  However, the fighting broke out again as the Turk unexpectedly stood up and punched the Thai man and the police had to separate them once again. Once they calmed down they were both called back for interrogation. But yet again the Turk attacked the Thai, until the Thai’s friends who had gathered inside the station in retaliation began beating up the Turk, and police had to separate the whole group, who were all charged with inciting a riot and were a danger to the public.

Police Search on Jomtien Beach for Missing Russian Girl - Pattaya People

 

The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Team were called out in the early hours of Thursday to Jomtien Beach to help search for a teenage Russian girl gone missing that evening.  On the shore the distraught mother had trouble in communicating with the team as she spoke no English, plus the fact that she was extremely drunk.  Twice she had to be forced from jumping into the sea as she believed her daughter had drowned.  Sea Rescue was already at work in speed boats searching the waters along Jomtien beach, but after hours of searching it was to no avail.  The woman was taken back to her hotel as plans were set to carry on the search during day break.  Then the twist in the tale struck everyone; as the woman was taken to her room, officers found that her daughter was sleeping soundly in bed, much to the embarrassment of the drunken mother. A report was made and possible legal procedures may occur for wasting police and Sawang Boriboon time.

Huge Drug Production Operation uncovered by Police in East Pattaya

Posted on November 29, 2012

Following the arrest of three Iranians thought to be involved with a well-organized drug production facility in East Pattaya on Thursday Morning, Police conducted a further raid of a warehouse located close-by on Thursday afternoon which leads them to believe they have uncovered one of the largest ever foreign-operated illegal drug making operations ever seen in Thailand.

Officers from Banglamung Police and the Narcotics Suppression Bureau conducted a raid on a warehouse located in Soi Chayapornviti 12 in East Pattaya following information gained from the three Iranian suspects. Upon their arrival they were met by a security guard and the owner of the building, Khun Tiraboon aged 25, who were both unaware of what would be found by Police inside.

The locks on the front steel shutters were broken and officers entered to find many boxes full of imported furniture and 20 air compressors. Much of the furniture had been cut open, suggesting something had been concealed inside and was removed inside the warehouse as evidence of a white power was seen on the floor. Police also found the same Nail Polish Remover Liquid they found in the earlier raid of the house in Chockchai Village 7 in Soi Kao Noi. Also found in the warehouse were ceramic items which were found to be concealing a white power which is thought to be an ingredient used to produce narcotics.

The owner revealed the renter of the warehouse was a British National, originally from Iran, Mr. Manocheher Eskandari aged 40. He was paying 15,000 Baht rent per month and had rented the warehouse for over 1 year. His whereabouts is currently unknown. Khun Tiraboon further revealed how, at least twice a month, a truck would take items from the warehouse.

The investigation continues as Police fear they have only seen a small part of the operation so far.

Disco doormen surrender to Police following Brit Drowning incident off Pattaya Bay

Posted on December 4, 2012

Three Security Guards working at the Marine Discotheque behind Walking Street where three British men were thought to have been involved in an altercation before being chased through Walking Street who were then seen jumping off the end of a restaurant extension into Pattaya Bay leading to the death of one of them, have handed themselves into Police who are currently investigating the incident.

On Sunday afternoon the three British men were seen to jump off the end of Tankay Seafood Restaurant into the sea. Mr. Patrick Lawrence Molloy aged 28 lost his life after he got into difficulties as he attempted to reach a banana boat situated 500 meters off the coast. The other two men whose names have been confirmed as Mr. James Louis Wilks aged 29 and Mr. Jerry Robson aged 30 survived after they were able to reach pleasure boats moored in the bay.

The three Security Guards who work at the Marine Hotel Discotheque (not the Marine 2 Discotheque as previously reported) which is open from the early hours of the morning until Midday were named as Khun Sompot aged 43, Khun Pramaert aged 23 and Khun Somkit aged 37 who described to Police how the three men were allegedly seen to touch a female in an inappropriate manner which angered the guards who approached the three men to ask them to stop.

It was mentioned that all three men were heavily intoxicated and joining the three Disco Guards was a Security Guard stationed in the Hotel Lobby, Khun Yonyut aged 50, who was allegedly kicked in the leg. At this point the confrontation became violent as the three men were suddenly outnumbered and ran out of the Hotel in the direction of Walking Street, followed by the four guards. There was no mention of the guards being armed even though Police suspect they were.

It was decided by Police to issue the three men with fines for public order offences after CCTV evidence was presented to Police which showed the incident inside the Disco. The fine relates to their admission they chased the men down to Walking Street thus causing a public disturbance. There was no accusation made against either of the men to suggest they were directly involved in the death of Mr. Molloy.

Although they have been released the three men may be called back to the Police Station depending on the progress of the investigation which is pointing towards a death by misadventure conclusion at this time.
