Pattaya police have arrested four Latin Americans
accused of hiding out in Pattaya after burglarizing homes in Samut
Prakan.
Transnational Crime Coordination Center officers
arrested Mexican Catalina Colin Cortes, 32, outside a FedEx office in
Pattaya May 19 as she tried to ship a digital camera and other
expensive, suspected-stolen, items overseas.
Corness led officers back to the Wilawan Apartments
on Thepprasit Road where officers arrested Colombians Wilmer Ferrel Cano
Sanchez, 38, and William Fernando Robayo Rico, 38; and Mexican Alejandro
Mejia Valdes, 33.
In the apartment, police seized bracelets, computers,
cameras, watches, rings, and other electronics.
Police were tipped off to the suspects by
investigators from the Bangkaew Police Station in Samut Prakan. Some of
the items recovered were claimed by Kanit Kijjathum, whose Bangkaew-area
home was burglarized May 6.
The four suspects were charged with conspiracy to
commit burglary and theft.
