Drug suspects shoot way out of Thai court
BANGKOK: Three drug suspects, including an American, shot and stabbed their way out of a court before brazenly fleeing in a pick-up truck, police said yesterday. The three were on the loose more than 24 hours after breaking out of a Pattaya court holding room on Monday. Officers were combing the beach resort city. “If they resist, officials have to carry out decisive measures,” said Krissana Pattanacharoen, national police office spokesman. The escapees are an American, his local wife and a male suspect.
