On February 5, 2024, police officers led by Pol. Maj. Gen. Pattanasak Buppasuwan arrested Jiriyaporn (last name withheld), 26, who was wanted by the Pattaya Provincial Court on charges of theft using a vehicle to facilitate the crime.

After about a month of continuous rent payments, the woman began avoiding payment and eventually fled, using a closed van to steal furniture including 3 air conditioners, a washing machine, beds, wardrobes, a TV, and other items, causing a total damage of 136,500 baht. When confronted, the suspect denied all allegations and was handed over to the police for further legal proceedings.
