In Bangkok, two thieves were electrocuted while attempting to steal electric wires, which led to severe injuries and their arrest. According to authorities, the event resulted in power outages and harm worth millions of baht, according to the incident.
According to Metropolitan Police Division 9 chief Pol Maj Gen Komsit Rangsai, authorities on Thursday night apprehended three offenders with a motorcycle, 35 severed electric wires, line scissors, and 1.1 grams of crystal meth.
Chaiyachana Boonmang, 38, Kittisak Srilawong, 27, and Jakkrit Hemsanthia, 23, were identified as the offenders.
The suspects gave admission to having stolen wires at night in Bang Khun Thian and Bang Bon during the inspection. Kritsada Sombun, 31, and Apisit Srilasak, 27, are still at large with two collaborators.
The group allegedly attempted another robbery in Bang Bon by attempting to steal 12 feet of high-voltage wires from a shrimp buffet restaurant.
But, Kritsada and Kittisak shocked them, causing severe side injury and making three cables unusable, according to damages valued at 1.5 million ringgit.
The suspects experience theft-related fees. Kittisak and Jakkrit are both facing additional charges of drug use, while Chaiyachana is facing more fees for meth hands. They have been turned over to Thakham Police for more legal action.
