A woman in Thailand, who had been avoiding arrest by disguising herself as a nun, was caught by the police following a thorough investigation. The arrest occurred after she had managed to dodge law enforcement for ten months in the Nakhon Si Thammarat area.

 

The woman, identified as Porntip, was arrested by officers from the Anti-Human Trafficking Division who partnered with local police units from Damnoen Saduak in Ratchaburi and Tha Sala in Nakhon Si Thammarat. This arrest was carried out based on an arrest warrant that was issued by the Ratchaburi Provincial Court the previous year, on August 11. The warrant was issued after Porntip was accused of stealing items worth 100,000 baht from her workplace in Damnoen Saduak.

 

After committing the theft, 38-year-old Porntip fled Ratchaburi and found refuge in Nakhon Si Thammarat. Here, she became a nun at a local temple, thinking it would protect her from the police. Nonetheless, the law enforcement officers continued their investigation and issued a warrant with a 10,000 baht reward for information leading to her capture.

 

Once her location was identified, the officers went to the temple where Porntip had been hiding. They showed her the arrest warrant and took her into custody following standard legal protocols. This arrest was in line with the regulations set by the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act of 2022.

 

Even though Porntip had been on the run for almost a year and had been living as a nun, the police managed to find her thanks to their persistent efforts. After being apprehended, Porntip was transported to a local police station where her arrest was formally documented. Following that, she was handed over to the investigation team from Damnoen Saduak, Ratchaburi, to face legal proceedings for theft.

 

The successful capture was the result of consistent surveillance and cooperation among several police units that had been tracking Porntip for nearly ten months.
