[webfact]

 

Two individuals, notorious for their thefts within hospitals, were arrested in a rented room in Trang province after trying to flush the evidence. The suspects are accused of a series of thefts carried out in various hospitals, impersonating patients’ relatives.

 

Upon arrest today by officers from the Thung Song police station in Nakhon Si Thammarat, they were caught with some cash and some gold.

 

Yesterday, a 67 year old woman, Ab Saenglok from Thung Song, Nakhon Si Thammarat, reported a theft at the Thung Song police station. The woman was taking care of her ailing son at the hospital and reported the loss of several items from her bag including a pair of gold rings weighing one baht each, a gold necklace weighing one baht, another gold necklace weighing half a baht, cash amounting to 34,000 baht, and a mobile phone. The suspected theft presumably took place while she was asleep at the hospital.

Considering the number of CCTV in a hospital, I would place the IQ of these particular robbers at 1/10

She's got 3.5 baht of gold and 34k THB in cash in her bag? What's that, about 150k THB in total. Maybe to pay the hospital?

Posing as relatives and hiding in a sewer will not confuse the RTP.
