A German resident of Pattaya was arrested at the culmination of an undercover operation early on Wednesday Morning, accused of offering fake driving licenses to other foreigners.

Earlier, Mr. D, W, aged 48 from Switzerland had reported the case to Pattaya Police. He explained how he had met Mr. A, G, aged 38 in Hua Hin. The pair discussed a service that Mr. Grudda can provide for a fee of 15,000 Baht where he claimed he could obtain Thai Driving Licenses direct from the Ministry of Transport without the license holder attending a testing center. Telephone numbers were exchanged and it transpired that both men resided in Pattaya.

Mr. W. was suspicious and reported the alleged scam to Pattaya Police who organized an undercover operation whereby the money was handed over in exchange for the completed license.
