Ratchaburi :- Police are trying to track down a male-and-female team of burglars involved in the theft of gold jewellery and cash worth Bt200, 000.

Kularb Adileklarb, 71, filed the complaint on burglary at Ban Pong police station.

Kularb said she was at home alone yesterday when a man and a woman travelled in a car paying her a visit.

The woman asked for permission to park the car near her home, saying they were making a rest-stop during the trip to spot and buy plots and woods dismantled from old houses.

The woman engaged her in a conversation while the man sat and rested in the car.

During the conversation, she agreed to take the woman for a walking tour of the neighbourhood.

At the end of the walking tour, the woman thanked her. The man and the woman then took off in their car.

She said she was shock upon discovering that her gold jewellery, comprising two necklaces and one bracelet with the combined weight of three seven baht, two Buddhist

amulets encased in gold and Bt48, 000 cash had been stolen.

She said she suspected that the man had broken into her home while she was distracted by the woman.

She said, unfortunately, she did not get the names of the man and the woman.

She said the two should not have preyed on old woman like her who has to live out the remaining of her days with meagre savings.

By checking CCTV installed in the neighbourhood, police uncovered the car’s license plate number. They also found that the car was travelling from the neighbourhood in Ban Pong district toward Photharam district.

Apologize, return the stolen property, and a typical Thai punsihment - sentence suspended.

Wrong...these two thieves should not have preyed on anybody for any reason. Should let the people in the local neighbourhood set the sentence and I'll bet these thieves would learn a very hard lesson then.

I am not against vigilanties taking the law in to their own hands if the police or courts don't punish those enough who harm innocent people.

But they have to make 100% sure they get the right ones.
