Kathu police hunt three suspects after four motorcycles slashed

Police in Kathu are investigating after four motorcycles parked outside a repair shop were damaged with long knives, according to Kathu Police.

The owner of Mai Big Bike motorcycle repair shop in Moo 6 filed a complaint at 5:43pm on July 26 after neighbours reported that customers’ motorcycles outside the premises had been vandalised. Officers confirmed that four motorcycles were damaged, including several Honda models. One had a Phuket licence plate and the other three had no plates.

Police said CCTV footage showed two young men approaching the motorcycles at about 6:50am and slashing them before fleeing. A third person waited nearby on a motorcycle and apparently acted as a lookout.

No injuries were reported. Kathu Police have launched an investigation to identify and arrest the suspects and are asking anyone whose motorcycle may have been damaged in similar incidents to file a complaint.
