PHUKET: -- Two top-up machine thieves were charged in Thalang yesterday after they confessed to committing the act at least six times in order to obtain money to buy krathom.

A 22-year-old suspect named Attaphol Panyasak, accompanied by a minor, were seen stealing the machines on CCTV.

"We had received reports over the last few days regarding top-up machine robberies in several areas, including Khao Lan junction, Baan Lipon, Baan Bangjo, Baan Pasak and Baan Manic. Upon checking video footage of these areas, we identified the thieves,” said Lt Col Prasan Toworn of Thalang Police.
