BANGKOK: -- Two Myanmar men have been arrested for allegedly robbing a Myanmar couple in Bangkok.

Pol Col Pong-anant Klaiklueng, deputy commander of Metropolitan Police Division 9, said on Wednesday that the two men were arrested at a rented room on Soi Thian Thalay 14 in Bangkok’s Bang Khun Thian district.

 

They were identified as Synt Min Thun, 35 and Daeng, 35.

 

Police seized a motorcycle, a knife, two smart phones, and two TV sets from the suspects.
