Serial car robber, 18, splashed booty on Phuket partying

PHUKET: Police have arrested an 18-year-old from Songkhla for a spate of smash-and-grab car break-ins in Phuket, with the perpetrator confessing to eight vehicle robberies within the past two months and spending his ill-gotten gains on partying and drugs.

Phuket City Police arrested Chetsadakorn Sukkrajang near the Choknamtang Transport Co Ltd workers camp where he lived, on Thepkasattri Rd in Srisoonthon, at 9pm last night (Oct 30).

Police seized two pairs of Ray-Ban sunglasses, three Buddha image amulets along with a blue Honda Wave registered in Chumphon and one monkey wrench used in carrying out the robberies.

Pol Lt Col Somsak Thongkleang said that Chetsadakorn’s arrest followed five victims filing complaints that their vehicles had been broken into and robbed during September and October.

“We checked CCTV in the areas where the robberies were reported and tracked down the getaway vehicle to the owner in Chumphon,” he said.

“Woraphan Kamhong, 34, the registered owner of the motorbike used in the robberies, is an employee of Choknamtang Transport Co Ltd. He told police that he often lent his motorbike to his workmate Chetsadakorn, who said that he used it to go visit his parents in Wichit.”

If he pleads guilty he will probably get an humanitarian award ,

At least he didn't squander the money.

I guess it is newsworthy that they caught him.

Mr Jessadakorn admitted that he stole the cash to buy drugs and go to massage parlors and karaoke clubs.

Unfortunately he did illegally and got caught.

In the nanny states he would be doing the same thing legally with money donated by the taxpayer.

A serial robber WOW Is it Captain crunch or Cheerios but not my Quaker oats PLEASE

In one month five reports of broken windows and items stolen.

The ' broken windows ' aspect was too complicated for the BIB to understand so they just had to have the arrested person re-construct what he did !

Another unnecessary, and shameless, excuse for a photo op
