CCTV footage provided by the residents clearly captures the suspect in action.
The rental room resident, 43 year old Hathairat reported that her room has been targeted twice, potentially by the same individual. Living in a state of constant fear, she worries about the thief’s possible return.

Pleading with the police, Panprateep urged them to expedite their investigation and apprehend the suspect before further incidents occur.
