PHUKET: -- Police have tracked down and arrested a 22-year-old man for breaking into a Kazakh family’s home in Rawai and stealing a safe containing more than B2.4 million baht in cash and valuables.

Anastassiya Zakhapenkova, 31, reported the break-and enter theft – in which B2,436,000 in cash and valuables, including the family’s passports, were stolen– to Chalong Police on November 26.

After checking CCTV in the area, Chalong Police working with Phuket City Police officers led by Lt Col Thamasan Boonsong, tracked down and arrested Maitri Seibwiset, 22, in Baan Koktanod, Chalong on Friday (Dec 11).

Police said that before moving in and making the arrest, they had noticed that Maitri had recently exchanged a lot of foreign currency.

At Maitri’s home police seized: $12,000 in US banknotes; 89,000 Kazakhstani tenge in cash; three designer watches; one silver necklace; two gold necklaces, two bracelets (silver and gold); three gold rings; two silver rings; two pair of earrings; three credit cards; one handbag and the five Zakhapenkova family passports.

Maitri also took police to a nearby canal, where they recovered the safe stolen from the Zakhapenkova home.

Ms Zakhapenkova and her husband later identified all the items reported as stolen from their home on November 26.

Well done, the Police!

Obviously the thief was not so clever keeping all the stolen items at his home.

It was a good luck for Ms Zakhapenkova and her husband.

Anastassiya Zakhapenkova, 31

Me thinks Anastassiya has learned a lesson.

If she wants to keep all that valuable stuff in her home, then she needs a SAFE, not one of those pathetic little things she had.

^Install a "safe" and they will bring a truck and a jackhammer. It is a lesson in who knows and who is watching. A safe ... well buy it in bangers and do it yourself!!

Those safety deposit boxes aren't bad .... 370b/pcm ...but depends on what your putting in it.
