Kamphaeng Phet, Grandparents were drugged by a gang of 4 pig buyers until they were dazed and unconscious before the pigs they were raising disappeared. They realized it in the middle of the night and rushed to file a police report.
Mr Somwang, aged 72, and Ms Pensri, aged 62, said that not long ago, the couple was attacked by a pig buying gang, consisting of 4 men aged around 40-60 years, who drove a white Toyota with Bangkok license plates into their home, pretending to come and buy the pigs they were raising.
Mr. Somwang said that his pigs were not big enough to be sold. Then one of the men came down, grabbed his hand and led him to the pig sty where he raised more than 40 pigs. At that time, he started to feel dizzy. The man said that the pigs were big enough to be caught. They were already over a hundred kilograms. He shouted for the other 3 people who came with him to get out of the pickup truck, go straight to his pig sty, and take out 6 pigs to weigh them before handing them 19,668 baht. The real c
ost to pay for the pigs was 42,500 baht. After receiving the money, he drank several glasses of water from a jug and felt dizzy and unconscious. When he came to, the 4 men and the pigs were all gone.
Mrs. Pensri, his wife, said that while she was watching the pigs being weighed and preparing to pay, the men in the group shouted for water to drink. So she took out a jug that was almost full of water and put it out for them to drink. Her husband and she took several glasses and drank. They noticed that the amount of water had almost completely disappeared. She was not sure if the men had thrown it away or drunk it. They were dizzy and unconscious. They came to their senses around 10:00 p.m. on the day of the incident. So she called the men back to ask why her pigs had lost more weight than usual and asked where they were so that she could send the police to weigh them again. She called again but they did not answer, so she reported the incident to Khlong Khlung Police Station. She confirmed that she did not kn
ow the perpetrators before and wanted the police to track them down and prosecute them so that it would not be an example for others to do the same.
The police officer in charge of the case at Khlong Khlung Police Station in Kamphaeng Phet Province has issued a summons for Mr. Sanoh, the owner of the pickup truck that caused the incident and who did not pay the full amount for the pigs to Mr. Somwang and Ms. Pensri, the victims, but he has not been found. His relatives have received the summons from the police, but he has not yet appeared. The police have now issued two summonses. If he does not appear on the third occasion, an arrest warrant will be issued to proceed with the case.
