The incident unfolded in the early hours of yesterday, August 29, around 1.02am, when three young individuals were captured on CCTV stealing two motorcycles from a dormitory located in Soi Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok 6, Prachathipat subdistrict, Thanyaburi district, Pathum Thani province. The footage, shared on the Facebook page อยากดังเดี๋ยวจัดให้ รีเทริน์ part 7, reveals the entire act, lasting just over two minutes.

“We have reported the theft to the police and intend to pursue the case to the fullest extent. I urge everyone in the area to lock their homes and secure their motorbikes properly. I was careless not to lock my bike.”

There has been a development in the case, thanks to a helpful tip-off that led to the apprehension of two of the three young perpetrators. The suspects, aged 12, 15, and 16, were identified, with the 16 year old still evading capture. The apprehended youths claimed they did not intend to steal but were persuaded to do so by the 16 year old.

“Anyone who knows or can contact the 16 year old (wearing a black shirt in the footage), please tell him to surrender. The country is small, and if he continues to flee, he will eventually be caught and sent to a juvenile detention centre. However, if he turns himself in, we can still negotiate with the police, like the other two who have been caught.”

Pathum Thani police are actively investigating the case, aiming to bring the remaining suspect to justice and ensure that such incidents do not recur, reported KhaoSod.
