During routine checks to enforce traffic discipline and prevent crime, officers noticed a grey Isuzu with an unusually heavy load. Upon inspection, they discovered seven motorcycles inside the vehicle.
The motorcycles included a grey-green Vespa 160 with registration 1กบ 7167 from Prachuap Khiri Khan, a black-grey Honda Scoopy with registration 1กฬ 8550 from Phitsanulok, another black-grey Honda Scoopy without registration, a black-white Honda Scoopy with registration 5ขว 5790 from Bangkok, a red-grey Honda Scoopy with registration 4กฐ 3727 from Chon Buri, a red-grey Honda Scoopy with registration 9ขถ 9072 from Bangkok, and a red Honda PCX160 with registration 6ขส 6257 from Bangkok.
The driver, 20 year old Kiattisak, admitted to picking up the motorcycles from a Thai national, identified only as Tan, in Bangkok’s Bang Khen district. He was en route to deliver them to a location near Rong Kluea Market in Aranyaprathet district, Sa Kaeo province.
Kiattisak revealed that upon arrival, a Cambodian national known as Kim would assist in unloading the motorcycles. He was hired by another Cambodian, Dan, and received a monthly salary of 10,000 baht (US$308) plus an allowance of 1,200 baht (US$37) per trip. He had been engaged in this activity for two to three months.
