In a disquieting Pattaya robbery event, a mother and her young son became victims of a theft in their rental room in Pattaya. The 26 year old mother found her home broken into and valuables were taken worth more than 100,000 baht, including her four year old son’s cherished piggy banks.

The mother, Nisachon Charoengpong, brought this dreadful Pattaya robbery incident to the police’s attention, guiding them into the room, explaining the situation, and indicating the area from which the thief had removed items. She conveyed that during the break-in, which occurred around 5pm one day and was discovered the next day at 5am, neither she nor her son was present.

Finding the locked door left wide open and the lights still on, Nisachon realised something had gone horribly wrong. Among the stolen items, the three piggy banks held a special place. They belonged to her son, a preschooler, who had been diligently saving from his school allowance. Following the traumatic robbery incident, the young boy reportedly fell silent, refusing to speak.

In response to the robbery incident, Nisachon pleaded with the police to nab the perpetrator as soon as possible. She also called upon the caretaker of the housing project to increase surveillance by installing more CCTV cameras to prevent any such distressing incidents in the future, reported The Pattaya News.

While the police investigation is ongoing, the mother and son eagerly await the eventual apprehension of the culprit, hoping to restore justice and security in the neighbourhood swiftly.

In May, cops caught all the suspects involved in the robbery case targeting Chinese tourists in Pattaya on May 3. The arrests were made at a border location in Thailand’s eastern Sa Kaeo province.

The arrest took place near the natural border crossing point, near the Aranyaprathet Border Checkpoint, within the Khlong Luek sub-district of the Aranyaprathet district of Sa Kaeo province. The suspects were taken into custody along with firearms and some of the stolen belongings belonging to the Chinese victims. To read the story click HERE.
