German national linked to Hells Angels detained

Police have detained a German national wanted by the German authorities in a criminal case linked with the Hells Angels international outlaw motorcycle club, the Immigration Bureau said yesterday.

Pol Maj Gen Phanthana Nutchanat, deputy chief of the bureau, said the suspect fled Germany after committing a crime involving physical assault.

After being notified by German police of the suspect’s presence in Thailand, the bureau located him in Muang district of the northern province of Chiang Rai, said Pol Maj Gen Phanthana.

The suspect was found to hold a non-immigrant visa, which allows him to stay in Thailand until July 12 next year, said Pol Maj Gen Phanthana. The suspect will be extradited to his home country.
