In order to secure the loan he gave the man his four-year-old Mazda pick-up truck worth about Bt1mil as collateral and said he’d repay the money within a month. There was no answer on the phone number he had, however, and the truck has never been seen again. A police source said that one of those was Nonthaburi man Weerawat Sripidok, who was already wanted in five separate fraud cases. Praiwan should have been told by Pratuan that one suspect had already been arrested in February over the alleged truck theft case, he added. Pratuan has told reporters he didn’t demand any money and had conducted the investigation in accordance with police regulations.
