snoop1130 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Motorcycle taxi driver saves the day after Pattaya citizen's arrest A motorcycle taxi driver made a citizen's arrest outside Central Beach in Pattaya on Tuesday after two men stole a British tourist's phone. It was all smiles yesterday at Pattaya police station as local chief Apichai Krobpetch presented Seksan Lormkan, 25, with a reward. Seksan had held onto one of the robbers who is now in custody. Korawit Sunanta from Chiang Mai admitted stealing from 68 year old Peter Dickinson who sent a friend to the police station yesterday to do the important pointing. Korawit was the motorcycle getaway driver while his mate Bancha Yotyingyong, 30, picked the tourist's pocket on a baht bus. Bancha got away but an arrest is expected soon as a warrant has been issued.

jaywalker Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Good on the moto taxi dude! Most every single one I've ever met are really nice guys. ---------------- Who else recalls this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattayadude Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 another fine example for "taking the law into your own hands" in a lawless city with no visible police force. where is the red line? Would a motorbike pursuit ending up with a fatal accident be considered heroism? However, I have to admit I am speechless to this man's courage!
