Four Chinese nationals have been arrested in connection with a burglary in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, where a Canadian woman’s home was broken into and a safe containing assets worth over 600,000 baht was stolen.

 

At a press conference held on the morning of 5 August, at Pak Kret Police Station, officers announced the arrest of four suspects at a residence in Lat Krabang, Bangkok. The suspects, identified only as Mr. A (35), Mr. B (48), Mr. Li (34), and Mr. V (37), are all Chinese nationals.

 

Police recovered a large cache of evidence including:

 

• Two motorcycles

• Clothing allegedly worn during the burglary

• A blue motorcycle helmet

• Two Tag Heuer watches

• Thai banknotes totalling 20,000 baht (in 1,000 baht denominations)

• 121 Turkish lira banknotes (200 denomination)

• 64 Syrian banknotes (5,000 denomination)

• Eight mobile phones

• Numerous tools believed to have been used in the break-in

 

The investigation was launched after the homeowner, Ms. Zhu, a Canadian citizen, reported to Pak Kret Police on 30 July that her safe had been stolen while she and her family were away on a trip to Koh Samui. Upon returning home, she discovered the safe missing from her office on the second floor. It reportedly contained cash and important documents with an estimated total value of 600,000 baht.

 

Police reviewed CCTV footage, which showed a group of male intruders scaling a side fence and entering the home at around 19:00 on 26 July. The suspects were later seen fleeing with the stolen items on a motorcycle. Further footage traced their movements to a house in Lat Krabang, from where they departed at approximately 15:23 and returned at 21:53 using a different motorcycle.

 

The suspects face multiple charges including:

 

• Night-time theft using a vehicle to aid in the crime or escape

• Receiving stolen property

 

One suspect, Mr. B, faces an additional charge of illegal entry into the Kingdom of Thailand.

 

Immigration Bureau officers have confirmed that the suspects have a history of frequent travel in and out of Thailand under the guise of tourism. Authorities are now investigating whether they may be linked to similar crimes in other areas.

 

The suspects have been handed over to investigators at Pak Kret Police Station and the case is now being coordinated with Immigration Division 1 for further legal proceedings.
