He broke in from a storage room back door. When the suspect noticed a CCTV camera, he used a PVC pipe to move the camera but inadvertently caused the camera to record him in full. Tanapon stated that multiple valuable items were taken from the premises including gas cylinders, but did not provide an exact list.

The incident has been reported to Pattaya police who are now hunting for the suspect. It is unknown if the man is actually a motorbike taxi driver or if he wore the vest in an attempt to throw off potential pursuit and investigation.
