A foreign man, described as tall and powerfully built, has been caught on CCTV breaking into a volunteer rescue booth in Pattaya and damaging essential medical equipment, according to police and eyewitness reports.

 

The incident occurred around 21.00 on 19 May at the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation’s Chaiyaphruek outpost, located on Sukhumvit Road, Moo 12, Bang Lamung district, Chonburi.

 

Mr Thawin Siangkong, a 21-year-old volunteer with the foundation, filed a report with Pol. Lt. Buddharak Sonkamhan of Pattaya City Police in the early hours of 20 May, submitting both CCTV footage and a list of damaged property as evidence.

 

The footage reportedly shows a western male prising open the booth’s sliding glass door and rifling through the interior. Items damaged include a power converter, used in emergency defibrillator kits and the booth’s main entrance, which was left cracked and damaged.

 

Mr Thawin told reporters that the volunteers had been dispatched to a road crash at the time of the break-in. Upon returning, they found the glass door broken and the booth ransacked. A review of the CCTV footage revealed the suspect forcing entry and rummaging through the contents.

 

In a surprising twist, the same man allegedly returned to the scene later that night. Volunteers confronted him, but he claimed to have no knowledge of the incident and refused to acknowledge the footage when shown and left the area.

 

“We asked him to look at the CCTV, but he denied everything,” said Mr Thawin. “We couldn’t do anything more, so we reported it to the police.”

 

The volunteer also expressed deep frustration with the situation.

 

“We don’t get paid. We sacrifice our time to help the community, and now we might have to cover the cost of the damage ourselves. It’s disheartening.”

 

The suspect’s identity and nationality remain unknown. Police are currently reviewing the CCTV evidence and are seeking to track down the individual involved.

 

Authorities have urged anyone with relevant information to come forward, while volunteers continue their duties despite the setback.

No shoes!!. And the typical sh*t shirt, sh*t shorts, sh*t hat. Certainly seems to be the common lowlife in the news profile these days. Way way way more of this going on now than before
