They’ve been charged with stealing motorcycles and then reselling them. One of the arrested men is an unemployed 36 year old tour bus driver. According to police, he was able to convince a 21 year old accomplice, who was his neighbour, to help him steal the motorcycles,. The stolen motorbikes were then delivered to a shop where they were disassembled and the spare parts sold to a ‘dealer’. The former bus driver has admitted to the crime and has been assisting local Phuket police with their enquiries. “I have been jobless for several months and I was desperate.” Source: https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/two-motorbike-thieves-nabbed-in-phuket -- © Copyright The Thaiger 2020-01-13 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they go after the shop owner and the "dealer" they all need to be taken out of the loop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
