Chiang Mai: – Provincial police have arrested four teenagers, aged ranging from 12 to 17, on suspicion of stealing iPhones from Hua Hin and trying to sell in the northern province.


Responding to a tip-off by an anonymous mobile phone vendor, police uncovered 31 brand new iPhones at a hotel’s lobby before the delivery arranged through an online sale website.


The checks confirm that the seized mobile phones were stolen from a True shop in Hua Hin.


Police said some 162 mobile phones were reported missing after the Hua Hin robbery on March 18.


In alerting police, the vendor informant said he noticed a recent posting on the website advertising the sale of brand new iPhones at an extremely-low price.


He replied and expressed his interest to buy 10 handsets. After completing the price negotiations, he and the seller arranged to meet at the hotel’s lobby in Mueang Chiang Mai district.


Before taking delivery of the handsets, he checked the international mobile equipment identification numbers and found that they were corresponding to those reported as stolen and impounded in Hua Hin.


He then reported his discovery to police, leading to the seizure of the 10 handsets plus other 21 hidden in the handbag.


The four teenagers admitted they broke into and stole the handsets from Hua Hin.


As the police circulated the list of stolen handsets, the four tried to sell in faraway towns such as Chiang Mai and Ubon Ratchathani.


They said they managed to sell to unwitting customers in UbonRatchathani before arriving in Chiang Mai.
