Attention all eagle-eyed netizens! The Yala Police Station transformed into a hive of digital detectives this past Friday, unleashing a virtual manhunt like no other. Accompanied by a flurry of camera flashes and the clickety-clack of keyboards, their Facebook page became the hotbed for a sleuthing spectacle as they zoomed in on not one, but two vehicles with a mysterious aura.
First up, we have a vehicle cloaked in the snowy guise of purity – a white Toyota van. Its license plate? Shrouded in the mist of the unknown! This stealthy steed was paired with a vehicular counterpart – a grey Toyota Soluna sedan that bore the marks of a Bangkokian – license plate number Por Por 4737. But beware! These crafty chariots come with a warning: their outer shells could transform with the flick of a sinewy insurgent wrist!
That’s right, those with a keen eye for detail were treated to an extra dose of detective work, as the vehicle’s very DNA – serial numbers of body and engine (MR053AN5000055100 and 5AH745451, respectively) – was laid bare for all to see. Why, you might ask? To prevent these cunning carriers from slipping away unnoticed, sporting a new color or masquerading behind a freshly minted license plate.
The plot thickens as our stage is set across the winding roads and shadowy lanes of Pattani province, where the vehicles play an epic game of hide and seek in Saiburi, Panare, Mayor, Thung Yang Daeng, Yaring, Yarang, or Muang districts. Will they slip through the fingers of justice amidst the bustling streets or find themselves cornered in a sleepy alley?
This electrifying exposé was triggered by an urgent letter from the Royal Thai Police, dated December 21st, stating that these two mechanical mavericks were suspected of dancing with danger. Insurgent attacks, the letter whispered, and these vehicles? They were the lead waltzers. Oh, and this wasn’t just your run-of-the-mill bulletin board announcement, it was a siren’s call for “special monitoring”. Cue the intense movie soundtrack!
Let’s rewind the tape to August 28th, where the white van is no mere backdrop to an altercation at a security checkpoint in the Yarang district of Pattani. It was center stage, its purpose? To shuttle insurgents to the very heart of chaos. Not to be overlooked, the grey sedan played its part in a convoy believed to be the chariot of choice for Azman Porlo, a notorious insurgent leader and master of explosives, apprehended on September 17th in the vigilant province of Narathiwat.
The Yala Police’s Facebook brigade reached out into the ether, their digital arms extending far and wide, as they implored the public, “Spot these vehicles? Call 191, post-haste!” A call to action, a battle cry for the observant and the brave. Who will answer the call? Who will be the linchpin in this high-stakes game of hide and seek? Only time will tell as the tire tracks of mystery await their next chapter in the annals of Thai crime-fighting history.
