In a significant breakthrough, Thai police arrested two Vietnamese nationals involved in a recent series of thefts across Nonthaburi province, near Bangkok. The arrest occurred yesterday, December 18, at a love hotel in the Bang Rak Noi district, following an escalated crime spree that baffled the local community.

 

The two suspects, 34-year-old Nguyen Huu Luc and 36-year-old Do Van Hiep, were apprehended with more than 500 pieces of stolen property, including valuable items from homes and a car showroom. The investigation began after multiple theft reports across several areas, prompting Chaiyaphruek Police to launch a thorough investigation. Surveillance footage proved critical in identifying the suspects, revealing their activities and movements in the Bang Si Mueang area.

 

 

Upon search, officers found an array of stolen goods in the suspects' hotel room, including electronics and cash. Although Nguyen denied any involvement, claiming the crimes were solely the actions of his companion, Do, both admitted resorting to theft due to financial desperation following their legal entry into Thailand on tourist visas.

 

These arrests bring an end to a daring theft operation, with both men now facing serious legal consequences. The charges of conspiring to commit theft carry the potential for five years in prison, reflecting the severity of their actions. This case highlights the importance of rigorous policing and community vigilance in tackling such crimes effectively.
