I was trying to work out how they caught him "with the help of biometrics technology" - was it through a photo on the shop CCTV?

I couldn't see how else they could identify him - unless he left his fingerprints in the shop and the local police spotted that?

The suspect was named on a vinyl board that depicted the crime, his getaway from Koh Tao and subsequent arrest.

Poster boy in his element again... I do hope the used posters are recycled into tote bags... he gets through enough to offer the CP chain a solution to check-out plastic bags.

Is shoplifting a reason for arrest?

I know a guy that spent one year, eight months in Samui prison for that.

Years ago, the first cell phone in my life was stolen. The thief used it

together with the sim card.


I called the police with a complaint, they told me to <deleted> off.
And here it is a news with a billboard .

"Local police contacted immigration who with the help of biometrics technology traced the suspect to Nit Bungalow on Samui"

 

I guess this sophisticated biometrics technology was a simple picture of this guy since the shop had a video camera.

I am wondering if they have an automatic system for recognizing photos.

 

This biometrics system sounds so innocent. But I once saw that with face recognition and a camera system they could follow people when walking through a city. They could draw a map of places 1 person visited.

 

Connect that with the info immigration has with photos and names.  

 

Soon, security personnel and police can follow you on a monitor when you walk on the street  with the expiration date of your visa on the screen.
