The man kidnapped yesterday in Pattaya by a gang of five men has been identified as a former Hells Angels biker from Australia.
Wayne Rodney Schneider, 38, has a long criminal record from Oz and has faced charges of drug trafficking and dealing with proceeds of crime.
He was also on New South Wales’s “Most Wanted” list over the 2006 shooting of a bouncer in Sydney’s Kings Cross, reported The Sydney Morning Herald.
The ex-motorbike gang member was seen being beaten and kidnapped by the group at 5am yesterday and a search has been launched.
Thai cops believe the gang leader is a fellow Australian known to Schneider.
It is unknown how long Schneider has been living in Pattaya.
