A thief who broke into three houses in Bangkok’s Sai Mai district in one night was caught after his tattoos revealed his identity, say police.

 

Kajornpong Sunthornkaset, 38, a resident of Nakhon Ratchasima province, was arrested at 9pm on Tuesday (April 21).

 

On April 14, he was recorded by surveillance cameras as he broke into three houses in the capital’s northern district.

 

The footage showed the suspect was sporting distinctive tattoos on his body. Police investigated and found that he lived in an apartment in Bang Kapi district.

 

He was arrested at his residence and taken to the police station for interrogation. Police say Kajornpong confessed to pulling off several robberies.

How did the police know he had these tattoos in order to arrest him?

Was in in the habit of walking about without a shirt on perhaps? Or were the tattoos on his legs, and he always wore shorts?

I doubt this was his first offense.  He's probably served time  or at least been arrested before and was known.  Police agencies in the West take photos and maintain a record of distinguishing tattoos for just this reason.  Thai police must do the same thing.  That, or they walk around and show the pics to lowlives who may have seen someone with similar tattoos.

Basic police work.
