Pattaya — A suspected burglar was beaten by a group of angry residents in Pattaya after he was caught trying to commit another break-in this morning, June 30th.

The failed burglary took place at a villa village on Soi Thappraya 15, Nongprue sub-district, Banglamung district, Chonburi province. The alleged repeated burglar, 31-year-old Mr. Thanapat Sangjamrang, was arrested by the Pattaya police after being detained by residents of the village. He had suffered multiple facial injuries from the “detainment” by the villagers.

 

Mr. Thanapat was found with several thousand baht in cash that he had allegedly stolen after breaking into over three villas. Officers seized all stolen items as evidence before transferring Mr. Thanapat to the Pattaya Police Station for first aid and intensive questioning.

According to Mr. Chatchai Thaentong, a 37-year-old caretaker of the affected home, the suspect had burglarized the village several times but was always able to escape. Eventually, he coordinated with Pattaya police officers to stake out the area, leading to Mr. Thanapat’s arrest.

Some of it already and more to come one would hope.....

Not usually a fan of street justice but in the absence of Police action I am for it!

To be divided up amongst the citizens who did their job for them?

Nah, now the risk of things really disappearing went shy high.

Should give those residents a free visa to Aus for 12 months with free rein....deal with the yobbo's here who keep being let go.

I used to work for the Police back in the UK. We had a career burglar show us how to get over walls like that in less than 30 seconds by running a digging spade along the top and then throwing some heavy duty sacking on top. It means nothing to a professional thief.

When the police absolutely refuse to do an effective job, the locals are left with little choice but to take matters into their own hands.

 

From my point of view I would love to see this happen more often. I think this might be the kind of deterrent that criminals need, to act like decent human beings.

And a good hard prison gang rape so he learns his lesson.

I agree entirely Mike, that is if they are caught in the act. I am all for taking the law into our own hands if the police or courts don't do anything, I have done it in the UK, but we just have to be 100% sure that they are guilty.

?   looks like he possibly got caught by two 90 year old grandmothers with feather dusters

 

i would expect something more like this
