The “aunties” face charges of damaging property, making a threat and carrying a weapon. Prawet superintendent Pol Colonel Alongkorn Sirisongkhram wants to ask them about a complaint filed by pickup owner Ratchanikorn Lertwassana, 37, who also provided a video recording of the incident. Police said damage amounted to Bt50,000, punishable by up to three years in prison and/or a fine of up to Bt6,000. Ratchanikorn said the house gate was padlocked and festooned with signs, so she assumed it was shuttered for legal reasons and thus unoccupied. I’m pressing charges so they don’t do it again.”The video of the pickup’s window, hood and bumper being smashed was posted online and widely seen, with many viewers criticising the aunties for overreacting.
