Man Arrested for Deleting Game Items Worth 1.1 Million Baht
A 24-year-old man was arrested in Bangkok for deleting over 1.1 million baht worth of in-game items from a DDTank Origin player's account after being denied access to sell it.
Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) officers arrested 24-year-old Noppruj on August 11, 2026, under arrest warrant No. 4287/2569 issued July 31, 2026, on charges of unauthorized damage to computer data causing property loss. The arrest took place outside a government building in Bangkok's Chatuchak district.
The victim owned two accounts for the popular online game DDTank Origin and had previously represented Thailand in international competitions in China. He met Noppruj through the game in mid-2025. Later, Noppruj asked to borrow the victim's account. Since the victim had less time to play and didn't want to abandon the account, he provided his email and password on the condition that Noppruj would only use it to play—not sell it.
When the victim discovered Noppruj was attempting to sell the account, he revoked his access. On December 11, 2025, Noppruj secretly logged back in using the victim's credentials and deleted all of the victim's valuable in-game items, causing total damage of 1,157,730 baht. The victim filed a complaint at Tao Poon Police Station, leading to a court-authorized arrest warrant.
Officers transferred Noppruj to Tao Poon Police Station for further legal proceedings. Noppruj initially denied all charges.
