Police in Chon Buri have nabbed a man from Loei Province for breaking into a local kindergarten classroom and swiping two Samsung flat-screen televisions. The 26-year-old suspect, named Prawit, was arrested after a June 6 court warrant charged him with theft in a government building.

 

The police disclosed that Prawit was captured on the Siwarom Village road in the Si Racha district. The burglary dates back to May 26, when a male assailant, roughly 170 to 180 centimetres tall, broke into the Si Racha kindergarten at night and took two 50-inch Samsung TVs used for teaching.

 

After committing the crime, the burglar vanished, leaving behind clothes and burglary tools. The school promptly informed the Si Racha police, who started investigating and identified Prawit, a known criminal, as the culprit.

 

The police traced and then searched Prawit's residence, recovering the stolen televisions. On being arrested, Prawit admitted to the burglary, stating it was due to unemployment and needing money. He confessed to selling stolen items on social media for his expenses and leisure.

 

After his arrest, Prawit was taken to jail, and the recovered televisions were used as evidence in his case. This incident not only led to the recovery of stolen items and the arrest of the suspect but also highlighted the larger problem of unemployment possibly leading to crime.

Bit of an unfortunate name though.

It would be nice if it was the watch man going to gaol.

A protected species never goes to jail.

Sounds like a posh kindergarten with 2 x 50" TVs.

Plenty of work about, but people don't want it at 350 baht for a hard slig, easier to steal and sell on Facebook, but stealing and taking it back to your home when you are a known thief is not a good career move
