A dramatic arrest unfolded on 10 May, after a man wanted on theft charges attempted to evade police by climbing through a ceiling space and then hiding inside a water service duct. The suspect was eventually removed with assistance from a local rescue team and taken into custody.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Siraphop Bualuang, Deputy Superintendent of Investigation at Pak Khlong Rangsit Police Station, together with Police Captain Itthiphon Phuttharaksa and a team of investigators, led the operation to apprehend Mr. Atthawit, who was wanted under an arrest warrant issued by the Nonthaburi Provincial Court (No. J.637/2567 dated 8 May 2025). He is accused of theft from an employer.

 

Officers had traced the suspect to a flat in Building 8 of the Pla Thong housing project in Bang Phun Subdistrict, Mueang District, Pathum Thani Province. When police arrived, Mr. Atthawit fled through the ceiling space and into an adjacent room, eventually wedging himself inside a narrow veryical utility shaft used for water piping.

 

Police were initially unable to retrieve him and had to call in a rescue team to assist in the extraction. It took over 30 minutes of careful manoeuvring before Mr. Atthawit was finally removed from the tight space and brought down safely.

 

He was then taken in a dishevelled state to Pak Khlong Rangsit Police Station for interrogation and legal proceedings.
