An attempted motorcycle theft in Rayong ended in disaster for the would-be thief, who accidentally stabbed himself in the stomach after crashing the stolen vehicle during his escape.

 

The incident occurred at around 04:40 near Khao Noi Junction in Taphong subdistrict, Pluak Daeng district. CCTV footage captured the suspect loitering outside a local grocery store, pretending to browse like an ordinary customer. Moments later, he seized the opportunity to jump on a white motorcycle parked outside the shop and fled the scene, wielding a 30-centimetre knife as he drove off.

 

Not long after the theft, another CCTV camera captured the motorcycle’s owner, Mr. Suchin 31, giving chase on another motorbike. He pursued the thief for approximately one kilometre before finding him lying injured in roadside undergrowth after apparently losing control and crashing.

 

The suspect, later identified as 38-year-old Mr. Krisana, had sustained a serious abdominal wound and was bleeding heavily. Rescue worker Mr. Somkit, 18, from the Pluak Daeng emergency response team, said that upon arrival they found the man lying face down beside the road with significant blood loss. A 30cm knife was recovered near the scene, along with two smaller knives, which police have seized as evidence.

 

Mr. Krisana later claimed he was simply on his way home to Bung Tata and did not know how he had sustained the injury. However, Mr. Suchin told police he witnessed the suspect stealing his parked motorcycle, having watched him walk in and out of the shop pretending to buy food before making his move.

 

After the incident, Mr. Suchin visited Pluak Daeng Police Station to provide evidence, confirming that the suspect had brought the knives with him. He declined to press charges, stating that he had recovered his motorcycle and considered the matter closed.

 

Police confirmed they are holding all relevant evidence and will proceed with legal action. Mr. Krisana is currently under medical care and will be summoned for further questioning once he recovers.
