PHUKET: -- A serial thief who broke into nearly two dozen vehicles during the New Year’s holidays was apprehended on Saturday.

Phuket Provincial Police Commander Teeraphol Thipjaroen, along with his team, spoke at a press conference at Phuket Provincial Police Station yesterday regarding the arrest of the suspect, Ging Phonsae. 

“In two months, Mr Ging broke into cars in Phuket Town, Thalang, Sakoo and many other areas on the island and caused a lot of damage. We observed his actions and collected evidence against him over time,” said Maj Gen Teeraphol. 

Gen Teeraphol told the Phuket Gazette that on the day of the arrest, he and his team followed the suspect to Tesco Lotus in Thalang, where it seemed he was going to strike again.

“When we questioned him and showed him the evidence, he confessed to 23 counts of theft, including breaking into a car in Saphan Hin last Thursday (story here),” said Gen Teeraphol.
