On April 10, 2025, police in Cha-am apprehended a 44-year-old man suspected of multiple thefts, including a reported burglary earlier this month. The arrest took place near the Chian Tung pawnshop along the northbound side of Phetkasem Road in Cha-am district, Phetchaburi province.
Authorities identified the suspect as Wisit, also known as “Auan,” a resident of Moo 3 in Nai Yang subdistrict, Cha-am. His arrest followed an investigation linked to a theft reported on April 5, in which a grass trimmer was stolen from a wooden residence named “Sakthong House,” located near Phetkasem Road in Don Khun Huai subdistrict.
Items recovered during the arrest included a black Honda Scoopy-i motorcycle without license plates, believed to have been used in the crime; a blue long-sleeved shirt and a brown cap, allegedly worn during the incident; a solar-powered light suspected to be stolen property; and a bottle containing a urine sample from the suspect, collected for investigative purposes.
The man was taken into custody by Cha-am Police Station’s investigation team. Legal proceedings are being carried out as the suspect is transferred to investigators for further action under Thai law.
