A 17-year-old girl robbed of her pink motorbike at
gunpoint got it back after police found the discarded license plate near the
alleged thieves’ drug den.
Officers stationed at the Ban Nongketnoi Police in Nong
Plalai discovered three men and a woman smoking methamphetamines near a
field where they’d discovered the license plate from the pink Yamaha Fino
reported stolen earlier that day by Prakaidao Sangthong, a secondary school
student at Thung Sukla Wittaya School in Sriracha.
With backup from the Banglamung Police Station, officers
raided the leased room and arrested Pipat Prakobtham, 19, and Sansanee
Jaiyangyouen, 20, of Banglamung; Tong Kaewsuwan, 33, of Udon Thani; and
Saeree Prangkokkruad, 19, of Nakhon Ratchasima.
Investigators seized a pink Fino, 21 ya ba tablets, a
small pack of marijuana, more than 51,000 baht in cash, gold necklace,
mobile phone, knife and drug paraphernalia.
The four did not contest the drug charges, but maintained
they did not rob the girl of her motorbike. However, Prakaidao later
positively identified all four as the people who’d taken her Fino at
gunpoint on Nongkla-Nongpangpuay Road in Sriracha’s Bung District.
Officers believe the four arrested are part of a larger drug and theft
ring and have expanded their investigation.
