In a successful operation on September 10, led by Pol. Col. Tawee Kudtalaeng, Superintendent of Nong Prue Police Station, and his team, police arrested a member of a motorcycle theft ring and recovered a number stolen motorcycles. The operation took place in a cassava field just a few kilometres from the location of the thefts, bringing relief to the victims who had their motorcycles stolen the previous night.

 

The police had been alerted by several victims reporting the theft of multiple motorcycles. Following these reports, the investigation team quickly gathered clues from surveillance footage and tips from local residents, leading them to a spot where the stolen motorcycles had been hidden. The thieves were using a pickup truck, license plate number from Phitsanulok, to transport the stolen motorcycles to sell on the black market.

 

 

As the police moved in for the arrest, two of the suspects managed to flee, but one was apprehended. The arrested suspect claimed to be merely hired to transport the stolen motorcycles, denying any involvement in the thefts themselves.

 

When the victims were informed that their motorcycles had been recovered, they rushed to the Nong Prue Police Station. One of the victims was so overjoyed upon seeing their motorcycle that they burst into tears, thanking the police for their swift action in recovering the vehicle.

 

Pol. Col. Tawee Kudtalaeng took the opportunity to remind residents to safeguard their property by using locks or parking their vehicles inside secure areas to prevent future thefts. He also assured the public that the police would continue their efforts to apprehend the remaining gang members, urging them to surrender before being caught.

Little planning involved... just the usual "they rushed in"
