In a significant turn of events on January 10, authorities from the Krabi Tourism Enforcement unit successfully nabbed an individual of Singaporean origin, wanted on charges related to nocturnal theft and eluding law enforcement.

 

The operation, orchestrated under the command of Pol. Lt. Gen. Sornsuk Sarisuk, chief of the Tourism Police Division, was designed to uphold tranquility and security in the community, prioritizing the well-being of both local inhabitants and visiting tourists, reported Siam Rath.

 

Following a directive from the Ao Nang police station in Krabi, the Tourism Police were tasked with locating the Singaporean suspect, accused of orchestrating a nighttime theft utilizing a vehicle for added convenience. Intelligence suggested the individual was in hiding somewhere within the Krabi province.

Under the guidance of Pol. Lt. Gen. Sornsuk Sarisuk, the Tourism Police, accompanied by other high-ranking officers, initiated a comprehensive investigation that eventually led them to the suspect, identified as Muhamad from Singapore. The apprehension took place at a residence in Sala Dan, Koh Lanta, Krabi.

 

Muhamad, 34 years old, openly admitted to pilfering a mobile phone from a local establishment in Ao Nang before seeking refuge in Koh Lanta. He asserted having remained in the province since the incident without prior encounters with law enforcement. The arrest of Muhamad was executed in accordance with an arrest warrant issued by the Krabi Provincial Court.

The Tourism Police underscored the significance of reporting accommodations under Sections 37 and 38 of the Immigration Act of 1979, streamlining the verification process for foreign nationals within the region, and ensuring the safety of both tourists and locals.
