Udon Thani luxury home ransacked by thieves

A Udon Thani homeowner was left in shock yesterday when he returned to find his luxury home ransacked by a brazen thief.

Among the stolen objects are parts from a cherished Rolls-Royce inherited from the homeowner’s grandparents. The incident, which took place in the Soi Jintakam area, is currently under police investigation.

Udon Thani police were alerted to a burglary at a residence in Soi Jintakam yesterday, where they discovered a scene of devastation. The homeowner, visibly shaken, led the officers through the house, showing the widespread damage.

Every valuable item had been taken, and the house was left in complete disarray. In a particularly audacious act, the perpetrators had disassembled a motorcycle, taking half of it with them, and had meticulously extracted the wiring from a vintage 1977 Rolls-Royce engine, a family heirloom over 48 years old, leaving the engine behind.

The homeowner, who only occasionally visits the property, was confronted with a scene of chaos. The loss, including extensive damage to the property and stolen items, was estimated to be over 500,000 baht.

The homeowner also shared that six months ago, he experienced a similar incident where a mattress was stolen, suggesting the possibility of the same culprits being involved. Despite a report being filed over six months ago, the investigation had not progressed, and no arrests had been made.

The homeowner speculated that at least two thieves were involved, operating with a chilling calmness, even taking the time to draw curtains to conceal their actions, reported KhaoSod.

In response to the incident, police officials have begun coordinating with forensic teams to collect evidence, including fingerprints that could lead to the offenders.
