BRITISH DRUG DEALER MAKES DRAMATIC ESCAPE FROM PATTAYA POLICE PURSUIT

On 23rd May 2009 a British drug dealer made a dramatic escape and evaded capture by police while attempting to make a delivery in a car park in South Pattaya.

At 00:30 am Police Colonel Teerapol Jindaloung, on behalf of the Pattaya Superintendent, had been notified that a foreign man had arranged to deliver drugs to his regular customers at the car park of the Barrak 93 Pub, South Pattaya, Moo. 10, Nongprue, Banglamung. A police team was rushed to the scene to await the suspect’s arrival.

Eventually a full spec black Toyota Fortuner, no. 4608 Bangkok drove into the car park and a foreign man got out leaving two Thai women sitting in the vehicle. Suddenly, the man spotted the police, ran back to the car and drove straight at a police car which was attempting to block his escape.

His sped towards Soi Batman, South Pattaya, with the police in hot pursuit. At one point he rammed a police car while heading into Soi Sukhumvit 71. His vehicle eventually became too damaged to drive and he stopped at the railway road. He got out of the car and ran into the bushes where he made his escape.


The police team searched the suspect’s car, which was covered with many police logo stickers. The two women in the car, Mrs Wanpen Teenon [41] and Anong Sumdangsetch [29], confessed that they were the foreign man’s girlfriends. They identified him as Mr. Troy Curtis, a 56 year old British national. They claimed he hired them regularly to accompany him, but added that they did not know he was a drug dealer though they admitted he had often consumed drugs [cocaine] in their presence.

The police found their claims of innocence unconvincing and took them into custody for further investigation. Later on, police discovered documents identifying a Thai woman (name withheld) as the owner of the car. They also ascertained Mr. Troy’s residence to be at 56/2 Nongprue Soi 3, Moo. 2. The police took the suspect’s two girlfriends with them to search Mr. Troy’s house.


In his room police found 2 grams of Yah Ice, 17 grams of Cocaine , some dried marijuana, 7 needles, a weighing machine, plastic bags etc. Many bank books were also found together with Mr. Troy’s passport. Police presumed that a locked safety box must contain some drugs or other illegal items. Police confiscated all the items as evidence.



A warrant has been issued for Mr. Troy’s arrest. He faces serious charges, including the possession of narcotics class 1, 2 and 5. Police hope to bring him to justice as soon as possible.

Unless he kept a lot of cash on himself, or he can make it to a good friends house without being nabbed, his chances of escape are small. Not that I wish him any luck.

None but himself to blame, have fun in Thai prison! Typical shifty looking Pom expat if you ask me....

JoGeAr

Interesting. When they catch him he'll have to get used to all-male menage-a-trois.

Loy Toy

He's probably across into Cambodia already.

Scum arseholes of the earth these blokes and I hope he gets what's coming too him.

I bet a few BiB are sweating also and if he gets caught. I got offered special business cards and stickers before and have refused them on all occassions.

dirtydog

Anybody can buy the stickers and put them on their car, every week or so a guy sets up in the police car park selling stickers, gun holsters, police medals plus all the other stuff police might need.

taxexile

great story, lets hope for some followups from the newspapers.

this lowlife arse, when he gets caught, and get caught he will, will get a right good thrashing from the thai police, and i hope they work him over good. re-arrange that nasty brit face of his. looks like a walthamstow toerag.

i cant understand why they didnt pull their weapons and shoot him when he tried to escape. the thai police are rarely trigger shy.

i have no great admiration for the activities of the thai police, but have even less admiration for brit wideboy scum behaving badly abroad. i sincerely hope that after his deserved severe beating at the hands of the police he is sent away for a long time.

and ....... troy curtis, what a fucking name.
and ....... for a "drug dealer" hes hanging around with very some poor quality minge.

spliff

Looks like they got his passport too, in that one pic w/ the fat cop.

somtamslap

Did he come out the other end going, dinnerninnerninnerninner etc - should've gone down soi superman.

somtamslap

Yeh, he's had it...going to the nearest police station would be his best bet,,,maybe.

SiLeakHunt

He's probably hiding in the Batcave, if he was frm Liverpool he wouldn't be able to go out without robin.

cheers

britmaveric

Well over to Cambodia and claim he lost his passport I would suspect.

TSR2

Takes one to know one maybe

spliff

"maybe" is the big qualifier...I'm not a drug dealer. I can see that you just might be bored.

Loy Toy

The one's that you stick on your windscreen and have police saluting you as you drive by DD. I don't think you can find those one's in the police carpark for sale mate!

BobR

Too bad he got away. I really get a laugh out of those police trophy photos where the drug dealer arrestee has that "I think my life is over" look on his face. Hope they catch this scumball real soon. Drug dealing may be the least of his problems, ramming a police car must qualify as an assault in LOS.

TSR2

I meant the "shifty looking Pom ' bit,

dirtydog

Yeah they sell them all, even the metal grill badges to anybody, white black or Thai.



At his age for the drug dealing he would probably spend the rest of his life in a Thai jail, so doubt he was worried at the time about ramming police cars or whatever else he did to get away, it really makes no difference if your going to end up spending the rest of your life in jail to what other crimes they may add on to the charges.

Happyman

Shop across the road from Phuket main Police station sells the lot ( not sure about the gun ) but everything else you need to be a policeman !

Muadib

Yes, along with the pics of the BiB pointing at the perpetrator while they snap the pic... Right out of the Keystone Cops...
