A motorbike’s Global Positioning System locator
helped police arrest three people behind a Plutaluang-based motorcycle
theft ring.
Following the coordinates on the Kanittha
Tangsanthia’s Honda PCX bike, which she reported stolen from the Big C
Extra market in central Pattaya, police turned up at Ekthani Village 4
to find three suspects and eight stolen bikes.
Taken into custody were Sompong Saowarot, 48, Wanchai
Ekjeen, 43, and Thimpika Sangrocha, 22.
Police said Sompong confessed he’d been working with
Wanchai and his wife to nab bikes at malls from Sattahip to Laem
Chabang. He supposedly confessed to stealing more than 100 bikes in
Chonburi and Rayong.
Theft victims are encouraged to contact Pattaya police in hopes of
perhaps getting their property returned.
