Thief has second thoughts
A Trang businesswoman wants police to have another go at finding the mastermind behind an unusual robbery of her shop in which the reluctant thief seemed more interested in chatting than taking anything.
Onuma ‘Kung’ Chumcheun
Onuma “Kung” Chumcheun, 41, owner of Kung Mobile, in Thap Thiang of Muang district, was confronted by the armed robber after he broke in early on Dec 14. However, rather than ransacking the place or taking armfuls of phones, he made his way to her bedroom and started quizzing her.
The burglar, Worawat Suthichana, 25, had let himself in through the roof at the rear and used a knife to prise open a sliding glass door to gain entry to her shop. A battery of more than 10 CCTV cameras recorded his moves. Inside the shop, he found a broom and pushed away the cameras so they could not record his face.
