According to the abbot, the suspects chose only 100 baht notes, totaling 2,000 baht, and fled. He also said that the two suspects were the same teenagers who stole from the temple previously on July 22nd.

“The novices and I have to live in fear,” the abbot stated. “These kids have no regard to the laws and sins and violate Buddhist principles without fear.” He also urged law enforcement to expedite the investigation to prevent the suspects from repeating the act.
