Police intercept over 200 motorbikes in Kanchanaburi for violations
Over 200 motorbikes from the Nam Mai Arb gang were intercepted by police in Kanchanaburi for various legal violations. The gang, travelling from Nong Khao Police Station in Tha Mueang district towards Kanchanaburi City, was stopped by police at 7.10am yesterday, January 12, after receiving reports from locals about their noisy presence on Highway 324.
Upon receiving the report, Police Colonel Surayut Mekmangkorn and Deputy Traffic Division Chief Police Lieutenant Colonel Mongkol Phrommet instructed Police Lieutenant Chokchai Thaicharoen, along with his team, to monitor the situation. Officers from Mueang Kanchanaburi Police Station, including vehicle and motorcycle patrol units, joined forces to track the group.
The motorbike gang was spotted riding through Wang Saraphi Roundabout before turning onto Highway 367 (Bypass Road), eventually gathering at a large petrol station along the bypass. They were accompanied by support vehicles, including vans and trucks.
Traffic and patrol officers followed them, engaging in discussions and inspecting their vehicles, driving licenses, and registration plates.
Pol. Lt. Chokchai established a checkpoint on Highway 367 near the Khon Chumphae restaurant, ahead of the Kaeng Sian intersection. Numerous members of the gang were stopped for inspection.
Pol. Col. Surayut instructed the officers to ensure all motorcycles complied with regulations, allowing compliant vehicles to proceed without issue. However, those without valid driving licenses, registration plates, or having modified exhaust systems were to face legal action without exception.
Due to the large number of motorcycles, the inspection process was considerably lengthy, reported KhaoSod.
Pol. Lt. Chokchai revealed that the gang’s purpose for visiting Kanchanaburi was to engage in merit-making activities in the Sai Yok district. Initial checks uncovered 117 violations, including 23 cases of not carrying or showing a driving license, 35 cases of missing registration plates, and 59 cases of vehicles lacking legally required equipment, such as exhaust systems.
