Wichit –
Phuket’s Wichit Police have arrested a 19-year-old man suspected of breaking into local shops and restaurants after a failed burglary attempt earlier this month.
The Wichit Police told the Phuket Express that on April 29th, investigative teams tracked down the suspect following a complaint filed on April 17th. The incident occurred at a restaurant near Muang Thong on Sakdidet Road in Wichit.
Security camera footage revealed a lone intruder entering the restaurant late at night and rummaging through property. The disturbance alerted the owner, who came out to investigate, prompting the suspect to flee empty-handed.
Investigators later identified the suspect as Mr. Manas, 19, a resident of Chalong. He was taken into custody for questioning and later charged with attempted theft using a vehicle at night.
Police noted that the arrest followed a series of theft reports in the area, and the investigation is continuing to determine whether the suspect is linked to other incidents.
