Sri Racha —
Two motorbike thefts occurred consecutively in Sri Racha on Wednesday, July 6th. The two victims who were already struggling with finances implored the police to take action.
The first incident unfolded in the middle of the night on July 6th. Two suspects got captured on a CCTV camera stopping their motorbike in front of a rental room in Sri Racha’s Nong Kham subdistrict and stealing a black/grey Honda Wave 150 motorbike owned by the female victim, Sumarin Padwiset, and fleeing.
According to reports, Samarin worked at a factory. She was 32-years-old and only bought the motorcycle one day ago on a down payment. But what hurt her the most, according to her, was that she had just filled the gas the day before the incident, hoping to drive her brand new motorcycle to her workplace, and now she had nothing left.
Sumarin said she already filed a report at the Nong Kham Police Station. She also doubted the police’s professionalism as she got all the evidence including CCTV footage, but police still could not catch the culprit as of press time.
TPN notes that Sumarin’s case is one of the truckload cases involving a motorcycle thief in Sri Racha areas. Some cases even cost the victims their valuable, expensive motorcycles, as in the following case of Sirisak Saenrang.
At 10 AM on July 6th — the same day when Sumarin’s motorbike was stolen — Sirisak Saenrang revealed to local media about a similar crime that happened at 3 AM on July 4th.
According to him, one suspect wandered into the parking space of his rental room and stole his Blue Yamaha R-15 big bike. The suspect, according to CCTV footage, took only five minutes to get the motorbike moving and rode off. Sirasak said that he still had to pay eight remaining financal installments — each costing 2,970 baht — for only a key to his bike.
In addition, the victim said he had just moved to Sri Racha to find a job, and he is now in deep trouble because he doesn’t have money or work. He initially reported the case to the Laem Chabang Police Station and urged the police to take this matter seriously.
