The bullets hit one of the officer’s cars and on the rear hood. Senior Sergeant Major Thatpong was shot in the leg and was quickly rushed to hospital it was then that the gang dispersed and even though the officers radioed their colleagues around the area, not one of the bikers was caught.
Banglamung police station superintendent Pol. Col. Somnuk Chanket said that this was totally unacceptable and that firing at an officer of the law was highly punishable, so a special investigation team has been set up to track down the gang who police believe live in the area.
