"for possession of a stolen motorbike and seized seven other motorbikes" Yea, I to read the text carefully to understand it was 1+7, and not another instance of 'cop math' (by either over-estimating street value of evidence, or stealing portions of it before or while in lockup).

RichCor Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 "Police checked CCTV footage in the area and confirmed that Kriangkrai’s motorbike was stolen by being loaded into the Toyota Mighty X pickup truck and taken to Anek’s house." That's some great coverage by CCTV if they could track all the way to Anek's house. Wonder if they used the "Zoom and Enhance" function to read the badge of the Toyota Mighty X pickup truck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
