At 9:00 AM on February 13, 2026, Nonthaburi Prison officials reported that during the morning prisoner count, inmate Chuchai Srijin, 40, was found missing. Investigations revealed he had escaped around 2:00 AM by climbing over the prison wall near Tower 2, rappelling down to the parking area next to the prison's storage building, and then walking towards the Nonthaburi pier. Police Lieutenant Colonel Chaychai Nathanakarn ordered investigative units to coordinate with prison authorities to track down and arrest Chuchai.
