Police in Bangkok have seized a man who broke into a car care shop and stole side mirrors from several cars owned by an embassy. The alleged thief was caught on CCTV footage and later confessed to selling the stolen items for cash.

 

Thung Maha Mek Police Station Superintendent, Panom Chueathong, announced on July 15 that the investigative team arrested 37-year-old Akkaphon Laphasanan. He is accused of burglary and theft at night, using a vehicle to aid the crime or avoid arrest. The arrest was made at a home in Thung Maha Mek, Sathorn, Bangkok.

 

The investigation was sparked by an incident on July 9, around 2.30am, where side mirrors were taken from a bronze Mercedes-Benz and several neighboring vehicles. The cars had been left at the shop overnight for service programs such as cleaning and polishing. The theft was reported to the police.

 

 

A prior initiative by ex-Police Chief Suwat Jangyodsuk, which saw CCTV cameras installed by the Royal Thai Police (RTP), was instrumental in this case. The CCTV captured the crime in full view, providing a key piece of evidence to identify the culprit.

 

Upon questioning, Akkaphon admitted to the offenses. He confessed to entering the shop's property, stealing the side mirrors from various vehicles, and selling them to cover personal expenses. One of the cars involved was a regular vehicle from an anonymous foreign embassy.
