Police in Nonthaburi have taken two men for a reenactment at a shopping center after they abducted a 17 year old youth there last Friday. 

 

The men were an army corporal called Chokechai, 26, and a former convict named Winit, 26, a football coach. 

 

The pair went to the shopping center on the 6th where they brazenly approached the boy, named only as A, with a gun. 

 

He was forced to go with them to the parking lot when he was compelled to ride with them on a motorcycle to Ngam Wong Wan Soi 18. 

 

Once there his father was contacted and told to transfer 4,000 baht to a bank account to secure his son's release. 

 

This was done and the victim was taken to an ATM in the Tiwanon area to get out the money. 

 

The youth was then released and the parents promptly went to the police. 

 

The suspects were soon in custody after police found out who they were and got warrants from the court. 

 

Winit was picked up at a convenience store at a Caltex gas station and Chokechai was arrested at a room in Chaeng Wattana Soi 14. 

 

The pair said they had gone to a karaoke lounge where they racked up a bill of 10,000 baht but could only afford to pay 2,000 baht. The owner had called demanding the rest. 

 

Winit had been jailed for five years for armed robbery in June 2016 and was released in December 2018, reported Thai Rath.

Sometimes the thought of the debtor getting away with it and walking around smiling is enough to trigger stupidity.

It´s called Thai installments. The percentual rent on the full amount of 2000% will be attached to the second installment. ????
