Police Arrest Two In Car Break-In And Theft Ring

Police arrested two men on July 12, 2025, following an investigation into a vehicle break-in and theft ring. Senior officers from Phlabphla Police Station 2 directed investigators to apprehend Prasert, 39, who was found with a stolen iPad in his room in Bangkok's Huay Kwang district, and Sujinda, 33, on charges of nighttime theft involving property damage and receiving stolen goods.

The investigation began after a victim reported on July 8 that his parked Mazda had been broken into on Pak Soi Charoen Krung 29. The left rear window was smashed, and items stolen included an iPad, a silver MacBook, and other valuables. Police tracked the suspects using closed-circuit camera footage and traced the iPad's signal.

Investigators discovered that the perpetrator had handed the iPad to Prasert in front of a convenience store near Soi Pracha Uthit 17 before retrieving it from a rental room. When officers searched the room, they found the victim's iPad hidden inside and seized it as evidence. Prasert attempted to flee but was apprehended.

Sujinda confessed to breaking into the car and stealing the items. He admitted this was his first offense and voluntarily cooperated with police, guiding them to search his room where they found clothing worn during the crime. Sujinda stated he had given the iPad and MacBook to Prasert to unlock the devices before receiving the MacBook back to resell. Police seized the motorcycle used in the theft as evidence and forwarded both suspects to face legal proceedings at Phlabphla Police Station 2.
