The Royal Forestry Department (RFD) has sacked another forest patrol officer, this time in Kamphaeng Phet province, after a teak log was found to have fallen from a pickup truck allegedly driven by him during a chase.

A taskforce of forestry officials and crime-suppression police intercepted a truck carrying illegally felled logs in Samut Prakan on Friday morning after tracking it overnight all the way from northern Nan province.
