A Thai snack vendor in Nonthaburi filed a police complaint against 4 males posing as officers, who demanded a month-to-month fee of three,500 baht (US$100) in trade for a lion sticker claiming to offer safety for her business. The fake cops fled when the vendor’s older brother started filming them with his phone. The deep-fried banana vendor is positioned within the Bang Mae Nang district.
At 6.30pm yesterday, Sub-Inspector Wanchai Inudom, accompanied by an investigative unit from Bang Mae Nang Police Station, met with Atikarn, the forty six 12 months old victim and proprietor of the store. They collected video footage from cell phones and CCTV cameras for further examination and suggested her to file an official grievance to proceed with the legal process, reported KhaoSod.
Sub-Inspector Wanchai confirmed that the individuals within the video were not officers of the Bang Mae Nang Police Station. He also clarified that there are no fees collected for lion stickers within the space, significantly for roadside snack shops.
Following the incident, Atikarn filed a criticism with Bang Mae Nang Police investigators. She expressed her concern for her security and that of her foreign workers. She questioned why the group of con artists, who intently resembled cops, would resort to such unlawful means of earnings. Atikarn said…
“Why don’t they find trustworthy ways to make money? Bona fide as sellers are already troublesome enough. I want the real police to analyze if this group of males is definitely affiliated with law enforcement and to find out their motive behind extorting cash for these stickers.”
