Testing Thai Police System! Malaysian Driver Parks Mercedes in No-Parking Zone, Snaps Wheel Lock in Rage and Flees. Police Rush to Review Surveillance Footage to Track Down Suspect. On May 4, Hat Yai Police Traffic Center in Songkhla received a report of damaged wheel lock equipment at the intersection of Prachatipat Road (opposite Minibigc). Officers Kampol Sisaeng and Pongsai Maneerut arrived to investigate and found the lock key and tether cable severely damaged and snapped on the roadside. The vehicle, a black Mercedes with Malaysian license plates, had fled before officers arrived. Initial investigation revealed the car was illegally parked in a no-parking zone (white-red striped area), so officers installed a wheel lock on the right front tire according to procedure and placed a citation notice on the windshield. The driver apparently became upset or attempted to evade, forcefully yanked the lock until it broke, then drove away immediately. Hat Yai Traffic Police are now reviewing CCTV footage along suspected escape routes to track down and prosecute the Malaysian vehicle owner under Thai law.
