Pol. Lt. Nathakorn Chanlot, Inspector of Nongprue Police Station, and a patrol team responded to reports from local residents and business owners about a group soliciting illegal donations in the Soi Wat Boon Samphan (Khao Noi) area of East Pattaya. Upon arrival, officers encountered three men identified as Nakorn Wuttichai (46), Nirut Wuttichai (44), and Chalerm Jinahla (47), who were soliciting donations from local shops using a white Mazda pickup truck. One of the men was wearing a jacket with the official emblem of the Department of Provincial Administration.
During the investigation, authorities discovered additional items, including a permit for the Sawang Pornpattanakarn Charity Association, donation acknowledgment cards, and personal identification documents from the group. It was also found that they had previously filed records in over ten different areas.
The three men were arrested and taken to Nongprue Police Station for further questioning. They have been charged with soliciting donations without proper authorization. Additionally, Nirut faces an extra charge for using official government emblems without permission.
