Notorious bike theft gang behind 10 million baht of stolen Honda motorcycles nabbed by Thai police

[webfact]

 

In a relentless pursuit, the law enforcement authorities of Region 4 Crime Suppression Division apprehended the key suspect of a notorious motorcycle theft syndicate. The gang mainly targeted the popular Honda PCX model, smuggling over 60 of these stolen bikes to neighbouring countries and amassing over 10 million baht.

 

The capture took place yesterday, when police officers, led by Captain Nathanon Prachum and Lieutenant Channarong Makpissuth, executed the arrest warrant 72/2023 issued by Nakhon Phanom Province Court on March 21, 2023.

 

Paironrong, aged 25, along with his accomplices was known for roaming around stealing these motorcycles to sell overseas. Captain Nathanon revealed that from September last year to March this year, the notorious gang stole more than 60 Honda PCX, which are popular and valued high amongst the public at a price per unit between 90,000-120,000 baht (US$ 2,610 to 3,480). The total loss incurred is more than 10 million baht (US$ 290,073).

 

Previously, three suspects had been arrested on March 10, including Natthawut, 25 years old; Nuttawat, 19 years old; and Nutthaphon, 22 years old. These individuals confessed to stealing more than 20 bikes and led the police to nab the buyer, Weeraphong, which opened the path to Paironrong’s capture, reported KhaoSod.

If the cops knew that why didn't they pick them up and put them in jail before?           Missed a Donation ?

Give them an offer. You want to stay out of jail, you now work for us. Go steal all the Harleys from the biker gangs.

Got to say, the gang got a good return of 10million baht

60 bikes = 166,667 baht each. You can buy a new bike, top of the range for 100,000 baht

Buyers beware ????
