Phangnga chief probation officer 'missing'

Police have launched a search for the director of the probation office of Phangnga province, who has not been seen since Aug 19, Probation Department director-general Narat Sawetnant said on Wednesday.

Pol Col Narat said he had been told by the Justice Ministry to verify a report that Chawee Intara, 57, director of the probation office of Phangnga, had disappeared. His relatives filed a complaint with police on Monday, saying he had not been seen since Friday.

Justice permanent secretary Chanchao Chaiyanukij instructed Pol Col Narat to take action after receiving an urgent letter from Sakol Chantharak, the deputy governor of Phangnga, about Mr Chawee's disappearance.

Mr Chawee was last seen on Aug 19 driving a Toyota Vigo double-cab pickup truck registered in Bangkok.

Pol Col Narat said he had been in contact with police and asked to be kept informed of the progress of the search.
