Three youths accused of renting apartments and burglarizing
neighbors picked the wrong victim when they allegedly broke into a condo rented
by a Pattaya police officer.
Theerapol Khamsinghnok, 20, and two underage boys were
arrested June 30 after allegedly stealing a television, stereo, computer and
5,000 baht from a Pattaya condotel unit belonging by a Narcotics Suppression
Bureau investigator.
Police said the youths confessed to the burglary and pawning
the electronics for cash. They were arrested with two gold amulets, keys to a
BMW sedan and motorbike, plus 9 mm bullets.
The suspects were said to confess to renting apartments
around Pattaya simply for the purpose of burglarizing neighboring units. The
money stolen was used for partying, police said.
