A Thai woman shared the heartbreaking story of a couple she employed, fed and put a roof over their heads for free, only to discover that they had stolen assets from her totalling more than 100,000 baht.

 

The 66 year old victim, Pimwipa, yesterday filed a complaint at Pluak Daeng Police Station in the eastern province of Rayong saying her bag with valuables worth over 100,000 baht was stolen. She also submitted security camera footage as evidence.

 

In the video, the thief, who wore a dark blue t-shirt and a cloth around his head to conceal his identity, entered the Thai woman’s grocery store and searched until he discovered her bag.

Officers reviewed the store’s security camera footage and later successfully identified the thief as 36 year old Ekkachai Meethong. The discovery shocked Pimwipa as Ekkachai was an employee of hers.
