Authorities in Chiang Mai have arrested an 18-year-old gang leader and two accomplices, aged 17 and 14, following a series of robberies. The gang, led by the individual identified as Bung Peach, reportedly threatened and attacked local skateboarders with a samurai sword, before fleeing the scene on a motorcycle.

 

Deputy Investigation Chief of Mueng Chiang Mai Police Station, Police Lieutenant Worawan Kanwana, conducted the arrest. The young men were caught with the samurai sword, motorcycles linked to the crimes, and stolen goods including fruit juices and cigarettes.

 

The arrests follow an incident on May 11, where two 20-year-old men, Kangchit and Thakdanai, were assaulted and robbed while skateboarding at Prasertsaran Land in Chiang Mai. The defense efforts by Kangchit led to an attack by the gang which left him with a forehead injury requiring nine stitches.

 

Police investigations uncovered that the gang's criminal activities stretched beyond this incident, with subsequent assaults and thefts in the Hang Dong and San Pa districts of Chiang Mai as well as the Chang Phueak police precinct area.

 

The police were able to track down the suspects after examining CCTV footage that matched the appearances of Bung Peach and his accomplices. During questioning, Bung Peach admitted to the crime series throughout Chiang Mai. As part of their process, the police took him to reenact the crimes at the different locations before formally pressing charges.

Well if they were and there was a slight malfunction,  you'd probably get more than a fanny fart! 

We have curfew for kids too in the S of France. Enough of these kids getting up to no good and then influenced into crime by older boys.  It’s about time that parents everywhere started to look after their offspring seriously. Many youths end up as louts or criminals where they could and should be at school or learning a decent trade. On the tv the other day, kids as young as 12/14 were earning thousands of euros a month as lookouts etc for drug gangs, even selling. They’ll never get back into education.

Agree,  the police shouldn't  call them "the samurai-gang" punks should be OK.
