A 29-year-old Colombian man has been arrested for allegedly breaking into around 40 homes in Samut Prakan and stealing assets worth over Bt5 million.

 

Lt Gen Sompong Chingduang, acting immigration police chief, and Maj Gen Pruetthipong Prayoonsiri, divisional immigration commander, announced the arrest of Jose Armando Amorales.

 

Pruetthipong said Amorales was arrested under a Samut Prakan Court arrest warrant when he flew into Suvarnabhumi Airport on Sunday.

 

Pruetthipong said the Advance Passenger Processing System reported the suspect was flying in from Laos and then changing flights for Frankfurt. He was arrested while in transit at the airport, the police said.

 

Officers said the suspect told police that he entered Thailand in March and rented a car to commit crimes at housing estates in Samut Prakan. He said he has stolen assets worth about Bt5 million from around 40 homes.

 

The suspect was handed to Bang Kaew police.

But where’s the loot ?

Probably in a container on a deck somewhere at sea.  Four or five years ago, a Colombian gang; maybe the same gang, was busted and a container about to be loaded onto a ship in Lam Chabang was seized and  opened.  Stuffed inside were all sorts of household goods, kitchen appliances, linens, decorative objects...like a huge yard sale.  Apparently, goods like this sell for a lot of money in Colombia, even though used.
