Wichit –

A man has been arrested after he stole gold items worth 270,000 baht from a friend’s home in Wichit.

The Wichit Police told the Phuket Express that last month Mr. Likit Wowthong filed a report to police that a suspect stole a gold necklace, two gold rings, and a gold bracelet in total worth 270,000 baht from his home at Saphan Hin Village in the Wichit sub-district, Mueang Phuket district.

Police have continued their investigation in which they finally arrested Mr. Satit, 41, yesterday (October 6th) at a shooting rage in the Rawai sub-district. He is facing charges of theft.

Satit admitted to police he stole gold items from his friend’s home. He sold the gold items as he needed money to pay prior debts.

Neither the victim or suspect stated if the two men would remain friends.
