A shocking burglary in South Pattaya has left residents on edge after security footage revealed two masked intruders brazenly breaking into a home, one wielding a 50-centimetre machete during their second raid.

ย 

The terrifying saga unfolded on September 21 but came to light yesterday, December 3 when the homeowner, fashion retailer Sunthorn, shared the harrowing details. While Sunthorn was away, a friend staying at the house narrowly avoided a confrontation with the armed burglars. The thieves made off with a black shoulder bag, cash, and a wristwatch worth 8,000 baht.

ย 

Disturbing CCTV footage shows the suspects, believed to be men in their 40s or 50s, scaling the back fence before sneaking into the property. Despite filing a police report at Pattaya City Police Station, Sunthorn expressed disappointment over the lack of action.

ย 

โ€œIf my friend had woken up while the intruder was armed, it could have been fatal.โ€

ย 

ย 

Frustrated, Sunthorn launched an investigation on his own, scouring the streets for two days before uncovering a lead: one of the suspects is reportedly a motorbike taxi driver operating in the Soi Korphai area.

ย 

Sunthorn has since released the footage to warn others, highlighting the potential dangers even in busy urban areas.

ย 

โ€œThis could happen to anyone, anywhere.โ€

ย 

Police have yet to make any arrests, leaving residents anxious as the machete-wielding culprits remain at large, reported Pattaya Mail.

Why did Sunthorn make progress when the police didn't?ย
