The investigation relates to an incident on January 12, in which a woman, known as Ms. Duan, was targeted during a purchase of a secondhand pickup truck in Ao Luk district, Krabi. Originally, Ms. Duan became suspicious after paying approximately 250,000 baht and attempted to cancel the deal. The suspects forcibly approached her, stealing 120,000 baht and her mobile phone.

In addition to detaining the suspects, officers confiscated vehicles, balaclavas, and black vests, allegedly used in the crime to impersonate police officers. The gang reportedly operated with assigned roles, aiming initially at the suspect's ex-husband. However, the plan shifted when the intended target did not appear.
