Four men posing as police allegedly solicited money from an ice cream vendor in Phetchaburi, Thailand. Dusara Sriphongcharoen, owner of Lung Jod Ice Cream, stated that the men repeatedly visited her home and shop, claiming to be police officers. The first incident occurred on March 25, when a man asked her to donate money. She gave him 1,000 baht.
After the third visit, the men arrived with a woman, and Dusara's partner negotiated a reduced payment of 1,000 baht. The group returned on September 4, this time in a black four-door pickup truck with a Bangkok license plate. One of the men allegedly threatened to reveal her home address and demanded money, which she refused. Dusara reported the incident to the Cha-am Police Station, fearing for her family's safety.
Former police commander Pairat Paiphanrat confirmed that some of the CDs allegedly used in the money requests were genuine, but stated that the individuals involved were not members of the Friends Helping Friends of the National Police Club. Police are investigating the matter to determine if the men impersonated officers or committed any other offenses.
