Early on Wednesday Morning, Police arrested a 19 year old man in possession of a firearm in Soi Jurarak off the Tepprasit Road in Jomtien.

He was charged with possession of a gun and also the theft of a motorbike and abduction of its 17 year old owner.

The case began on Tuesday Night when the suspect, Khun Somshai stole the motorbike allegedly at gun point. The bike owner was injured in the ensuing theft which became an assault on him.

Khun Somshai allegedly sent the young man to a local Motel and locked him in the room until the morning.

He was released and begged Khun Somshai to take him home as he had no transport.

Khun Somshai obliged and took him back to his Jomtien Home where Police were waiting for Khun Somshai who was duly arrested in possession of the gun which he claimed was not his and he had found it earlier in the day on the road and was preparing to hand it into Police.

Police are baffled by the case and are unable to explain to us why the suspect took the young man to a Motel for the night.

Despite this, Khun Somshai was charged and awaits a court appearance.

More guns

Well, it seems pretty easy to baffle the police.

Might want to take a look at the gay forum as to why he kept in the motel for the night!

I commend the 17-year old for having presence of mind, and the courage, to arrange for the police to be at his home and then convince the thief/kidnapper to deliver himself to them.
