They have admitted charges of theft at night using a conveyance or fencing stolen goods.

 

The case began on January 11th when the Thonglor cops were told of the theft of a Honda Wave from a PTT gas station in Rama 4 in their jurisdiction.

 

CCTV was utilized that traced the thieves to a rented room in the Huay Khwang area of the Thai capital.

The couple had been stealing motorcycles for more than 2 years and particularly targeted markets and gas stations.

 

They would sell the bikes for 20,000 baht a time to a fence who then took them to a neighboring country. 

Police are trying to find their contact as part of the inquiry.
