PHUKET: A 41-year-old Myanmar man has been arrested for selling an estimated two tonnes of discarded steel items from a recycling warehouse that he was hired to look after while the company remains closed due to the ongoing economic crisis.

Wichit Police, led by Lt Col Thammasan Bunsong, arrested the Myanmar worker, Mao Win, at the Naka Recycle Co Ltd warehouse on Chao Fa West Rd on Wednesday (Mar 17).

Lt Col Thammasan revealed to The Phuket News’ Thai-language sister newspaper Khao Phuket that Mao was hired to take care of the company warehouse, which had been temporarily closed as a result of the COVID-19 economic crisis.
