Two freelance rescue workers have been arrested by Thai police on theft charges. Five automated external defibrillators (AEDs) were found in their possession during a raid on a house in Bangkok’s Taling Chan district on Thursday.

 

One of the suspects, 37-year-old Rungroj, reportedly told the police that he used to work as a freelance rescue worker and had seen AEDs being installed at several public places.

 

He also said that he needed money to repair his car and decided to steal the devices, adding that he stole the first one near Thepsirin Temple and then five more, after the first one sold at a good price.
