CHIANG MAI: A Shan man was arrested for theft in Ban Wiang apartment in the Sri Phum area.

The theif was identified as Ta (no surname), 33, living in the San Sai area.

The police also seized 15,000 baht.

Earlier, police had been informed of several thefts by the apartment’s owner, Methira Mahawongthong, leading to investigations and monitoring.

Ta admitted to his crime and told the police that he was arrested on drug charges and had been jailed for two years.

After he was released in 2010, he worked in construction sites. Yet he could not make ends meet. He watched movies and attempted to imitate their theft scenes by climbing on air compressors to gain entry.

What's with the farang woman?

Six police officers, a thief and the apartment owner I guess.

Probably a victim.

"Ta admitted to his crime"..... how come every arrested person admits to the crime ?

Just wondering.

Awe, give the guy some money so he can eat.

Is he any more a thief then the landlords that don't return security deposits?
