PATTAYA, Thailand – Two police officers from Nongprue Police Station were injured yesterday evening (May 5, 2025) while pursuing a suspicious vehicle in Soi Nern Plub Wan. The officers, identified as Sgt. Thanakorn Chanakijpitakkul and Senior Sgt. Buranin Phonimitsakul, were on routine patrol when they spotted a modified motorcycle with a loud exhaust and no license plate.
