Two Thai thieves were caught by the police after they flaunted their stolen wealth to their neighbors in Songkhla, a southern province in Thailand. A 67-year-old victim named Itsaree reported to the Mueang Songkhla Police that her valuables were stolen from her home on Saiburi Road on July 25 around 8pm.

 

The culprits, Wissanu On-norm, 45, and Narate Jitsopha, 30, were arrested on July 31. Wissanu was apprehended at a resort while Narate was found at his home. According to the police, Wissanu was an illegal resident in Thailand with no identification card.

 

The two were successfully caught with help from the locals living near Narate's house. Narate had frequently boasted about his sudden wealth, which made his neighbors question the origin of his money and eventually alerted the authorities.

 

Wissanu admitted breaking into Itsaree's house and stealing her belongings, while Narate sold the stolen goods and split the money with Wissanu. The pair accumulated roughly 20,000 baht from their illegal activities. They confessed to spending most of the stolen cash on parties, drugs, and even hiring sex workers.

 

The police were able to recover Itsaree's stolen items, which included gold and diamond accessories along with luxury watches, from various gold shops where Narate had sold them. All the stolen property was returned to the rightful owner.

 

According to Channel 7, Wissanu was released from prison only 10 days before his latest arrest. Previously he had been caught stealing and was sentenced to two years in jail.

 

Both Wissanu and Narate have been charged under Section 334 of the Criminal Law with stealing someone else's property. They could face up to three years in prison and a fine of up to 60,000 baht. The pair is also facing drug use charges, but the details of that punishment have not been disclosed yet.
