A 40-year-old man who purchased a stolen motorbike for just 1,500 baht was arrested less than a month after acquiring it, following a police investigation.

 

At 08:00 on 24 February, Pol. Lt. Gen. Siam Boonsom, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, along with Pol. Maj. Gen. Nopasin Poolsawat, Deputy Commissioner overseeing investigations, and Pol. Maj. Gen. Jetsada Suaysom, Chief of Metropolitan Police Division 2, ordered the arrest of Mr. Kraison at a rented room in Soi Lat Phrao 48, Sam Sen Nok, Huai Khwang district, Bangkok. He was charged with "theft or receiving stolen property," and a black and red Honda Wave 110i motorbike was seized as evidence.

 

The arrest followed a report from the victim on 3 February at around 07:00. The complainant informed police that their motorbike had been stolen from outside a rental room in Soi Ram Inthra 8, Lane 24, Chorakhe Bua, Lat Phrao district.

 

Investigators later received intelligence from an informant that a suspect was seen riding a motorbike matching the stolen vehicle's description. The bike was spotted parked outside a rental property in Soi Lat Phrao 48, prompting officers to investigate.

 

Upon arrival, officers found Mr. Kraison standing next to the motorbike. They identified themselves as police officers and checked the vehicle, confirming it was the one reported stolen.

 

During questioning, Mr. Kraison admitted that he had purchased the motorbike earlier in February from a man named "Jae," a 35-year-old of stocky build and dark complexion. He claimed he bought the vehicle for 1,500 baht and had been using it since.

 

The motorbike was seized as evidence, and Mr. Kraison was formally charged. He was taken, along with the stolen vehicle, to Khok Kram Police Station for further legal proceedings.

 

Police continue to investigate the case, including tracing the individual who originally sold the motorbike to determine what further criminal activity is involved.
