The men 26 year old Khomsan Wanthongsukh, 24 year old Vachara Munkarn and 30 year old Veerasak Prachantasaen had been caught stealing various metal components from the bridge.
their modus operandi was to block the bridge with their stolen pickup making it look like they had broken down, whilst using wrenches and crow bars to undo the various nuts and bolts which they would then sell on to scrap merchants.
The police confiscated the pickup and the tools and also a small amount of crystal meth that was found in the cab before transferring the gang to the police station.
