Local authorities arrested a couple suspected of stealing a pickup truck, fleeing the scene, and later changing clothes to evade police. Today, 37 year old Theerawich (no surname given) and 30 year old Parichat (no surname given) were caught by Phetchaburi highway police with a red Ford pickup truck and a motorcycle as evidence. The couple was apprehended near the railway side road in Pak Tho district, Ratchaburi Province.

 

The incident emerged when on November 5, highway police were informed of a robbery at a residence in Phang Nga Province. The culprits had made off with a red Ford pickup, a watch, and 10,000 baht in cash. After receiving the report, the police alerted multiple highway points to be on the lookout.

 

It was at 9pm yesterday, that Petchaburi highway police spotted the said vehicle on Petchkasem Road, Wang Manao sub-district, Pak Tho district, Ratchaburi Province. A chase ensued as the suspects sped away, eventually entering a dead-end road near the railway.

 

Unable to proceed further, Theerawich, the driver, quickly exited the vehicle and fled into a nearby residence, where he changed clothes in an attempt to deceive the officers. However, residents alerted the police to his whereabouts, leading to his arrest. Simultaneously, Parichat who had escaped into the woods was also apprehended, reported KhaoSod.
