Two alleged gang members were arrested in Sattahip for pretending to be
hurt in a motorbike crash then robbing a man who came to help them.
Duthi Pakalo, 19, and Klisada Hadrai, 22, were taken into custody Oct.
22 along with a fake gun and the Honda Wave they allegedly used in their
crime. Sawat Boonruam, 24, also was arrested for possession of an
unlicensed 38-caliber handgun.
Police alleged the two suspects feigned injury after a bike accident on
Soi Yang Gnam and waited until 40-year-old Paitoon Janlod came to help
them. The two then miraculously “recovered” and held up Paitoon at
gunpoint, stealing 3,500 baht, police claimed.
Unfortunately, the suspects left one of their mobile phones at the
scene, which enabled the police to track them down. Police revealed that
the two criminals were living in the soi and the two criminals said that
they needed money for personal reasons.
Sawat was arrested after police caught him acting suspiciously before
searching him and finding an unregistered gun. Police investigated and
said that Sawat wasn’t involved with the gang.
