Pattaya – One suspect was caught for breaking into and stealing money from car-washing and water-dispenser machines in the Pattaya area on September 20th, 2023. His two accomplices fled.

 

The suspect’s hideout was in the Huai Yai sub-district, Banglamung district, Chonburi province. Police officers from the Huai Yai and Nongprue Police Stations were dispatched to the location.

 

The suspect, identified only as Mr. Wutchai or Ton, 38 years old, was arrested on sight while taking a nap. Police found multiple pieces of evidence, including a motorcycle, clothes, and shoes that matched those worn by the suspect in the CCTV footage. The other two suspects were alert and had fled before the officers arrived. They were later identified only by their nicknames of Art and Keng by police.

Any guesses what the proceeds were spent on since they then felt the need for a nap..... ?

So more alert than the Cops,

It suggests our ever-vigilant BIB tracked the dozy thief to his address probably by CCTV?  I've maintained for years that no-one looks at these screens; how else is speeding & red-light running allowed to flourish with such deadly consequences?
