A Bangkok car salesman who secretly role-played as a police officer finally got busted after making a real-life cop friend.
Yutthana Suriya, 33, was caught in full police uniform at a gas station in Samut Prakan province last night after his new friend, police Lt. Col. Torsak Parnklimpoomreal, figured out he was a fraud.
Torsak said Yutthana posed as a police officer on Facebook where he chatted with women, presumably about exciting, cop things. Torsak became friends with Yutthana believing him to be a fellow officer and even added him to a Line chat group composed of investigating officers from all departments in the kingdom.
Yutthana confessed he adores the police but could not pass the admission test to become one. He feels the uniform looks cool and wearing it boosts his confidence to talk to women.
Yutthana was prosecuted for counterfeiting a police uniform, forgery and owning a police transceiver without a license, MThai reported.
