Woman burglar arrested in fiery escape attempt
The Nation



BANGKOK: -- A woman has been arrested by Thonglor police after hiding in a stationery shop, burglarising it and trying to escape by setting a fire inside the shop.

The woman was not a Suksapan Panit employee, its manager Pavit Pangwiwat said.

The shop is located at the two-storey Planetarium on Sukhumvit Road in Klong Toei and was closed at the time because of the national holiday.

Pavit returned to work on Wednesday to check the shop's electronic system and was informed about the fire by the shop's security guard

Supuktrapon Wongsuwan, 36, was then found choking on smoke inside the shop and rescued.

Supuktrapon confessed to multiple other thefts, including stealing donation boxes at Wat Suan, Vejthani Hospital and The Mall department store. She said she needed the money to care of her children.

The fire was started on the second floor and was extinguished in about 10 minutes by eight firefighters.

The chief of Metropolitan Police Division 5, Maj-General Somprasong Yentuam, told a press conference that Supuktrapon hid in the shop's storage room on the first floor.

When the shop closed she stole money from the donation box but could not get out so she started the fire by burning a mouse pad with a lighter, he said.

Police said she committed similar crimes on November 23 after being released from prison for burglary about seven months ago.

she will burn through her savings now

A woman with man's forearms. more to this than meets the eye? She should be treated leniently as long as she hasn't used the like button on her facebook account this week

Actually it was not the manager of the shop who called the fire brigade as he was not even there, the place was all locked up! it was a fireman/rescue worker and his friends that first called the fire brigade! They were parked next to the building and saw the initial small flames coming out. They used the fire rescue radio to alert fire-responders and they themselves were first on scene to help the only open shop evacuate and save supplies from it. The manager turned up 30 minutes to an hour later to open the shop roller doors and let the woman out. She is lucky she did not succumb to the smoke.

i bet she/he had a great time in the womens prison, works out a lot then ??

Not native English speaker I would suggest.

It says a lot without saying much at all, just confirming a known fact.

what an idiot lighting a fire in the hope of someone seeing it she could have burned to death I think she was very lucky that someone did see it .
