UPDATE Police Continues to Investigate Burglary at Chinese Home in Bang Lamung Picture from responders. Police are continuing the investigation to solve a high-profile burglary at a property in Bang Lamung, Chonburi, where an estimated 100 million baht worth of valuables were stolen. The suspects targeted a large safe containing luxury watches, leaving behind significant damage. The incident occurred at a residence in a housing estate in Huai Yai subdistrict. The property belongs to a Chinese businessman who has not visited Thailand for over eight years. The safe, which was forcibly opened, was brought into the house by the owner when the property was purchased. At noon on January 17, local police, led by Police Colonel Atthapol Itthayophasakul, along with forensic experts, revisited the crime scene to gather further evidence. The safe, measuring 1 metre wide, 1.5 metres high, and weighing 250 kilograms, had been embedded in concrete and reinforced with thick steel. It was pried open using hammers and crowbars, leaving debris and dust scattered throughout the room. Investigators also examined eight wooden watch boxes, each capable of holding ten watches, and an empty Rolex box, which were left behind. The property was being occupied by Mr. Yu Chao Zhao, a 43-year-old Chinese national, who told police he had been living there for four months. He claimed to have been invited by a friend to stay and look after the house. Mr. Zhao stated that he was unaware of the safe’s contents and denied any involvement in the burglary. Police revealed that the house is jointly owned by a Chinese individual, identified only as Mr. Wang Liang Chen, and a Thai partner. Mr. Wang brought the safe to the property eight years ago while running a tour company in Thailand. However, legal issues in China have prevented him from returning to Thailand since then. Authorities are examining CCTV footage to determine how and when the suspects gained access to the property. Initial findings suggest the burglary was carefully planned, with the intruders specifically targeting the safe. The stolen items, primarily luxury watches, are valued at over 100 million baht. However, police are awaiting verification of these claims as the property’s original owner has not yet provided supporting evidence. Investigators believe the suspects had knowledge of the safe’s presence and may have acted on information about its potential contents. Police are continuing to follow leads and have urged anyone with relevant information to come forward. -- 2025-01-17

Picture courtesy of SiamChon. A daring burglary took place during the evening of January 15, when a thief broke into a residence in the Huai Yai area of Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province, and looted high-end watches worth over 100 million baht from a safe. The crime came to light at approximately 01:30 when Pol. Lt. Navin Sunthuanik, Deputy Inspector of Huai Yai Police Station, received a report of a burglary in a village in Moo 11, Huai Yai Subdistrict. Officers and forensic experts were dispatched to the scene immediately. Upon arrival, investigators examined the two-storey house, valued at an estimated 8 million baht, situated on an 80-square-wah plot. In a second-floor room, they found a black safe, 1.5 meters high and 1 meter wide, forcibly opened with a sledgehammer and a crowbar. The back panel of the safe was severely damaged. Wooden watch boxes capable of holding up to 10 watches each were found scattered across the room, but no watches remained. Further inspection revealed that a rear window of the house had been forced open, presumably the point of entry for the intruder. Forensic experts collected fingerprints and other evidence from the scene to aid in identifying the suspect. The house’s caretaker, Mr. Youchao Cho, 43, a Chinese national, provided a statement to police in a distressed state. Mr. Cho explained that he was looking after the property on behalf of his friend, Mr. Wang Liang Chen, 39, a Chinese businessman and owner of the house, who is currently in China dealing with legal issues. Mr. Chen operates a tourism company in Thailand but has been unable to return to the country. Mr. Cho revealed that he and his family had left the house between 15:00 and 21:00 on January 15 to run errands. Upon their return, they discovered the burglary. The rear window had been pried open, and the safe was damaged. While Mr. Cho was unaware of the safe’s contents, initial information from Mr. Chen confirmed that the safe contained luxury watches from prestigious brands, valued at over 100 million baht. The thief took all the watches, leaving only the empty boxes. Mr. Somboon 56, a business partner of Mr. Chen, corroborated the caretaker’s statement. He added that the property’s value and its contents underscored the severity of the crime. Police investigators, led by Pol. Col. Chatree Suksiri, Deputy Commander of Chonburi Provincial Police, revisited the crime scene on the afternoon of January 16, for further examination. CCTV footage from the house is being reviewed to identify potential suspects. Mr. Cho has been brought in for further questioning, while authorities are in contact with Mr. Chen to verify the total value of the stolen items. A security guard for the village informed reporters that the area is predominantly owned by Chinese nationals, with properties ranging in value from 7 million baht for single-storey homes to over 10 million baht for two-storey houses with swimming pools. He speculated that the thief might have entered the property by climbing the rear fence, which backs onto a forested area. Police continue to gather evidence to track down the perpetrator. -- 2025-01-17

Rescue workers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation accompanied police officers to the scene. The victim, a man estimated to be around 40 years old, was found lying on his back behind a barrier. Both of his hands were gripping electrical wires and conduit pipes tightly. His right hand bore severe burns consistent with electrocution. No identification documents were found on the body, but a shoulder bag was recovered containing wire cutters and a cable stripping knife. Upon inspecting the area, authorities discovered that electrical wires had been cut and partially removed from a streetlight’s conduit pipe. Ms. Thongdee Janhom, 58, a highway department official in Samut Prakan, reported seeing the man wandering around kilometre markers 12-13 the previous day. She described him as a vagrant carrying a small bag. She recognised him as someone she had previously asked to leave the department’s premises at kilometre 22, where signs of burnt electrical cables suggested attempts to extract copper for resale. Ms. Thongdee had earlier expressed concerns about fire hazards caused by burning cables to extract the copper, which prompted her to prevent him from staying in the area. Police suspect that the man had returned to steal streetlight cables when he was electrocuted and killed instantly. The body was sent to Ramathibodi Chakri Naruebodindra Hospital for a post-mortem examination. Further investigations are ongoing to confirm the identity of the deceased and the circumstances surrounding the incident. -- 2025-01-17

Picture from responders. Police in Pathum Thani, Thailand, were called an incident, late on 15 January when a man fired multiple shots into a neighbour's home before returning to his rented house and taking his own life. The incident occurred in a residential area in Bueng Yitho, Thanyaburi district. Pol. Lt. Yossawat Srilapat, investigating officer at Thanyaburi Police Station, responded to the call along with forensic specialists, local police, and rescue volunteers. At the scene, authorities found bullet casings and rounds from a 9mm firearm. Inside the home, identified as 89/186, the downstairs door was damaged, and bullet holes were discovered in the bedroom door, wardrobe, and refrigerator on the second floor. The shooter, Mr. Surachai, 45, was found dead in the bedroom of his own house, next door at 89/185. He had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the temple. A Glock 9mm handgun was recovered between his legs. Ms. Kannika, 34, a neighbour whose home was targeted, recounted the terrifying ordeal. She explained that Mr. Surachai had recently moved into the rented house next door. On the night of the incident, he forced his way into her home by breaking the downstairs door. Ms. Kannika, her husband, and their son were at home. After hearing the commotion, Ms. Kannika barricaded her family inside a bedroom, using a refrigerator and wardrobe to block the door. Mr. Surachai fired four shots through the bedroom door but did not gain entry. Ms. Kannika called the landlord for help, who reported that the shooter returned to his home. Shortly after, a single gunshot was heard, and the area fell silent. According to the landlord, Ms. Thongtan, 54, Mr. Surachai had moved into the property on 11 January. He told her he was under severe emotional distress after separating from his partner. Although initially polite, he appeared increasingly troubled in recent days, expressing feelings of guilt and regret.

Yossawat confirmed that forensic officers collected evidence, including bullet casings and the firearm, to aid in their investigation. Mr. Surachai's body has been sent to Thammasat University Hospital for an autopsy. Police will contact Mr. Surachai's relatives for further questioning and funeral arrangements.

Drama at Khon Kaen City Hall: Market Vendor Brandishes Knife, Claims Unfair Treatment A tense situation unfolded at Khon Kaen City Hall on January 16 when a local market vendor armed with a knife staged a dramatic protest, alleging mistreatment by local politicians. Full story:https://aseannow.com/topic/1349048-drama-at-khon-kaen-city-hall-market-vendor-brandishes-knife-claims-unfair-treatment/

Picture from responders. A tense situation unfolded at Khon Kaen City Hall on January 16 when a local market vendor armed with a knife staged a dramatic protest, alleging mistreatment by local politicians. The incident occurred at around noon on the fourth floor of the old provincial hall. The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, demanded to meet Khon Kaen Governor Kraisorn Kongchalard to address grievances regarding her business at a local market in Si Chomphu District. She claimed that new competition from a rival market, allegedly authorised by local politicians, had caused her customer base to shrink. Deputy Governor Yuttaporn Pirunsarn and Pol. Col. Yosawat Kaewsuebthannit, Superintendent of Khon Kaen City Police, spent over 30 minutes negotiating with the visibly distressed vendor. After lengthy persuasion, the woman eventually calmed down and relinquished the knife. Medical responders treated minor cuts on her left wrist before she was escorted to Khon Kaen Hospital for further care. Officers from the Damrongdhama Centre were also present to provide emotional support and address her complaints. Governor Kraisorn later addressed the media, stating that the woman had made multiple complaints about her declining business at a local market, allegedly due to the opening of a new market nearby. She claimed that her initial complaints to district authorities had gone unresolved and that she faced additional harassment, including accusations that her pets had been poisoned. Adding to the drama, bloodstains were found on her clothing. However, a subsequent examination revealed no injuries on that part of her body. Instead, officials discovered a bag of animal blood hidden in her bra, which she appeared to have used to smear on her clothes. Governor Kraisorn expressed sympathy for the woman’s plight, noting her actions likely stemmed from deep frustration. He has instructed the Deputy Governor to investigate her claims thoroughly. “Given her decision to come to the provincial hall, this issue seems to have caused her significant distress. We will look into the matter to determine the facts,” he said. The incident concluded without further escalation, and local authorities are now investigating her allegations to resolve the dispute. -- 2025-01-17
