Police Reject Proxy Delivery of Safe Key in 'Mae Phatthara' Case
Authorities at Wang Thonglang Police Station have refused to accept a safe key delivered by a representative of 'Benz', the son of Mae Phatthara, insisting the owner must appear in person.
On October 15, 2026, a representative acting on behalf of a man identified as 'Benz' attempted to deliver a key to a safe belonging to his mother, Mae Phatthara, to investigators at the Wang Thonglang Police Station. The safe, which reportedly contains gold and diamond rings valued at approximately 9 million baht, had been seized by police earlier that morning.
Police officials, including Deputy Commander of Metropolitan Police Division 4, Pol. Col. Apichart Apichanon, and the Superintendent of Wang Thonglang Police Station, Pol. Col. Jessada Yangnok, held a 20-minute meeting with the representative. Following the discussion, authorities declined to accept the key, maintaining that Benz must present himself to the police in person to hand over the item. The representative, who did not answer questions regarding his relationship to Benz, departed the station shortly after the meeting.
According to reports, Benz claimed he was not yet ready to appear due to his current mental state but provided assurances that he would arrive at the station the following day. For residents and visitors, this incident highlights an ongoing legal investigation involving high-value assets. It remains to be confirmed whether Benz will comply with the police demand to appear in person or if further legal measures will be required to access the contents of the safe.
