88 arrested and being sent to ‘attitude adjustment’ on March 11
88 motorcyclists have been arrested along with 92 bikes, illegally modified, seized. The arrests relate to road racing in the, now, weekly Bangkok roadside crackdowns.
This week police set up checkpoints on roads under the jurisdiction of Metropolitan Police Division 2.
A media conference was held this morning, just after midnight, to announce the results of the operation.
Police say 27 of the 88 motorcyclists were under the age of 18. None of the 88 motorcyclists tested positive for drug abuse. All of them will be subject to an “attitude adjustment” session on March 11, according to police.
Meanwhile, police also fined owners of 44 larger motorcycles for using exhaust pipes that amplified the noise coming from the bikes.
Earlier in the evening police used speed cameras to take photos of 52 alleged road racers at a recent gathering and issued arrest warrants against them. So far, 25 of them have reported themselves to police.
