More than 30 water meters have been stolen from houses in Khao Maikaew with police making no progress in catching the thieves.
Kwanjit Thongnak said a thief stole the water meter outside her house in Marb Kha Wan Village in Moo 2 village around 11 p.m. July 2. She heard a motorbike leaving, but didn’t see the perpetrator. She filed a report at Huay Yai Police Station Saturday.
Another resident, Nawin Sangthong, said four meters went missing from four shophouses in the same area. He said a dozen meters were stolen earlier.
Each victim reported to police, but investigators have not arrested anyone for the crime, which is costly for sufferers.
