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.

This is about a woman committing a crime. stop Living in the Past.

Oh,c'mon nikmar. "Smoke gets in your eyes". J.Kern. Now that's the past passed.

After all, they're only 'spinning back down the years to the days of their youth'.

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.

"A 36-year-old woman was rescued from a stationary shop fire which she lighted after stealing cash donation but was unable to come out."

Most shops are stationary, even the ones on stations that sell stationery.wink.png

Not native English speaker I would suggest.
