Police arrested a Thai couple who stole two large car batteries from a local garage in the central province of Chachoengsao and then returned to the scene of the crime and tried to sell the stolen goods back to the unsuspecting owner.

 

Officers from Bang Kla Police Station arrested the thieves, a 40 year old man named Nirun Kongcharoen and a 33 year old woman named Suwimon Darnpreeda, at their home in the Bang Kaew sub-district, Mueang district, Chachoengsao province yesterday at 2pm.

 

The arrest was made following the theft at Chai Auto Garage on June 11 and another theft at another garage called Bor Jor Kor Chachoengsao on June 22. Nirun also confessed that he had stolen a gas cylinder from a public activity area.

 

Nirun revealed that he worked as a motorcycle taxi rider but admitted that he turned to crime because he could not earn enough money to look after his family. He has six children, three of them are his and the other three are his step-children.

 

Nirun revealed that he and his wife would ride their motorcycle around until finding the shops that were easy to steal from. Then, they would sell the stolen products to a recycling shop.

The title is click bait. Surely everybody knows that it is impossible to be shocked  by a 12v battery.

I always laugh at the movies where the bad guys torture the hero with a car battery and jumper cables. ????
