PattayaMale Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I saw this article on Pattaya One. Could people be serving time in Thai jails based on planted drugs?? Fake Police Officer detains two women and demands money for their release. An unusual case now from Soi Neun Pleub Wan in the East of Pattaya. Banglamung Police were called to a small room in the area following a complaint from a 16 year old boy who claimed that his two friends were being held against their will inside the room by a man who claimed he was a Police Officer and according to the complainant, the so-called Officer planted drugs inside the room upon entry and told the complainant that he wanted 20,000 Baht to clear the case. He locked two 18 year old friends of the complainant inside the room and would only release them when the money was paid to him. The complainant wisely contacted the real Police who arrived at the location and rescued the two detainees; however the man who locked them up had disappeared. Local Residents mentioned that the man who detained the two women is called “Pon” and is a well known man in the area and acted as if he was a Police Officer on many occasions. He is now being sought by Police and will face charges of impersonating a Police Officer and abduction when caught. Quote
