Dutch fugitive arrested in Central Pattaya Beer Bar by Immigration Police.
On Thursday afternoon, Police Colonel Itipon from Pattaya’s Immigration Bureau received a complaint from a bar girl concerning a Dutch national who owns the Cozy Bar Beer 1 in Central Pattaya. She claimed that he would assault girls who work at the bar and would go as far as stab them on occasion for, what he considered to be, fun. Police Captain Jackgarit was assigned to the case and made his way to the bar on Thursday Afternoon and located the suspect, Mr. Wilhelmus Johannes Van Kempen aged 35 from Holland. As soon as the Captain identified himself as an Immigration Officer, Mr. Van Kempen attempted to escape without success. He was taken back to the Immigration Center and a quick check of his passport indicated that the passport had already expired. According to the Colonel, Mr. Van Kempen attempted to offer him 100,000 Baht to clear the case. The offer of money was rejected and the illegal offer was added to the list of charges against him. Mr. Van Kempen then contacted a local Police Officer friend to attempt to clear the matter and this was also unsuccessful. A check with the Dutch Embassy in Bangkok uncovered a list of outstanding warrants regarding firearms offences back in Holland and according to the Embassy he was on their wanted list for some time. He will be handed over to Embassy officials in Bangkok and the man will be deported back to Holland.
