A tale as old as time, where love once sown in the fertile grounds of youthful passion turned into a harrowing saga of loss and despair.

These digital detectives are on the receiving end of some serious side-eye following allegations that they couldn’t resist the siren song of good old-fashioned extortion. This eyebrow-raising adventure begins with a motorist’s claim that he was lighter by 30,000 baht after a less-than-pleasant encounter with our trio of officers.
