Ayutthaya ‘warlock cop’ fights crime with deadliest weapon of all: magic

Khaosod ran a short profile over the weekend of Pol.Sgt.Maj. Maneesak Saentaweesuk ­– a law enforcement officer from Ayutthaya who relies on magic inscriptions to protect him in his work.

Maneesak said that the spell on his motorcycle provided him with safety and, unsurprisingly, popularity.
