Pattaya burglars break into woman’s room by finding hidden key (video)

Two Pattaya burglars managed to break into a woman’s rental room by finding a key that the woman had concealed in front of her property. The burglars stole several valuable items.

CCTV footage captured the moment when the two culprits arrived at the location, situated in the Nong Prue sub-district of Bang Lamung district, Chon Buri, at 6pm on Tuesday. The vehicle they arrived in did not possess a license plate.

The targeted room belonged to 29 year old Ms. Namphueng Iamsiri, a cosmetics salesperson.

Based on the CCTV footage, the first suspect appeared to be approximately 30 to 40 years old, tall and muscular, wearing a blue shirt and long pants. The second suspect was of medium build, donning a white tank top, jeans, flip-flops, and sporting a tattoo on his arm. Both culprits concealed their faces with full-face motorcycle helmets.

Somehow, the two individuals managed to swiftly locate a key that Namphueng often kept hidden in her motorcycle helmet placed outside the room. They then effortlessly gained access to the room and proceeded to steal various items, including amulets, a phone, and two piggy banks. Namphueng estimated the total value of the stolen items to be over 10,000 baht, she told The Pattaya News.

Following the incident, Namphueng filed a report at the Bang Lamung Police Station, providing the CCTV recording as evidence. She explained that she had to leave the key outside as her eight year old daughter needed to use it to enter the room after school. The victim expressed her bewilderment regarding how the thieves were able to locate the hidden key’s whereabouts.

The Banglamung Police are working on tracking down the suspects by analysing the available CCTV footage.

On January 6 this year, a burglar snatched almost 100,000 baht from a Hong Kong tourist’s rented Pattaya villa. The victim’s villa was located in Jomtien Beach. Read the story HERE.
