The police Centre for Automobile and Motorcycle Crime Suppression has set up a new hotline where people can report stolen vehicles and bikes, and get a quicker more efficient response, CMAS chief Pol Gen Somyos Phumphanmuanga said.
Pol Gen Somyos Phumphanmuang, a deputy national police chief, announced the new hotline, 1599, at a press conference on Wednesday.
