Sa Kaeo Police Uncover Covert Motorcycle Haul on Highway 33

On a seemingly routine day, a dramatic twist unraveled on Highway 33 in Sa Kaeo province. With a keen eye, Police Major Kamonpop Harnwet and his squad of diligent highway officers from the Prachin Buri-Sa Kaeo division were in pursuit of ensuring order and discipline. However, little did they know, this particular day held a surprise concealed beneath the facade of an ordinary pickup truck. It was not just any vehicle; it was an inconspicuous grey Isuzu, carrying a hidden story within its metal frame.

The officers, always vigilant, noticed something peculiar – an unusually heavy load in the truck. Upon their gentle inquiry, this curtain of normalcy was quickly swept aside, revealing a curious assortment: seven hot-wheeled motorcycles crammed into the vehicle’s belly. Each one told tales of varied journeys, from the scenic roads of Prachuap Khiri Khan to the bustling streets of Bangkok. These weren’t random finds, but a curious ensemble of:

• A striking grey-green Vespa 160 hailing from the coastlines of Prachuap Khiri Khan.
• A sleek black-grey Honda Scoopy from the historical soils of Phitsanulok.
• Two more Honda Scoopys – one in a mesmerizing black-grey and yet another in a classic black-white theme, both calling Bangkok their home.
• A vibrant red-grey Honda Scoopy that originally roamed the energetic rooftops of Chon Buri.
• An adventurous red Honda PCX160, also from the vibrant metropolis of Bangkok.

Behind the wheel of this covert operation was the youthful Kiattisak, just 20 years of age. A confession came forth with a hint of nervousness. According to his admission, these motorcycles were entrusted to him by a man identified only as Tan – a maze of mystery himself, residing in the Bang Khen district of Bangkok. Kiattisak’s mission: to transporter these mechanical beauties to a waiting accomplice known only as Kim, beyond the scenic horizons of Aranyaprathet district near the Rong Kluea Market.

Intriguingly, Kiattisak was merely a cog in this grand machinery, hired by Dan, another enigma from Cambodia who operated behind veils of anonymity. The young driver disclosed his modest compensation for this cloak and dagger delivery work – a monthly wage of 10,000 baht (about US$308), alongside an extra 1,200 baht (around US$37) for each successful trip. This illicit chapter of his life had been a recent development, spanning a mere two to three months.

The Sa Kaeo police swiftly took possession of the entire operation: the pickup and the motorbikes, setting the wheels of justice in motion. The investigation didn’t stop there. With Kiattisak’s cooperation, law enforcement is now meticulously verifying the motorcycles’ origins, working diligently to return these roaring stallions of the streets to their rightful owners.

Now entrusted with this complex case, investigators at Mueang Sa Kaeo Police Station are poised to delve deeper, peeling back layers of intrigue for legal clarity. Reportedly, this thrilling tale of vehicular mystery was shared by KhaoSod.

In a similar vein, back in the early whims of February, a series of motorcycle heists gripped Chachoengsao province. Three teenage vigilantes, caught red-handed amidst their clandestine operations, were quizzed at their humble abode, nestled alongside a bouquet of stolen rides. The youthful leader, a mere 15 years old, carried a history that read like an open book – now apprehended while already on bail for another theft-related escapade.

Through these tales, the fabric of Thailand’s streets continues to knit stories of intrigue, of wrongdoers and vigilantists, keeping its police forces on their toes, and its citizens on the edge of their seats.
