Security cameras at a convenience store in the Maeung district of Chon Buri caught a male delivery rider stealing food from a motorcycle parked outside on July 13, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. The rider pretended to shop inside, then drove his motorcycle next to the victim's bike and removed the hanging food bag before riding away. The 17-year-old victim, identified as Mr. A, explained that he had purchased sticky rice with pork and grilled chicken and hung the bag on the front of his motorcycle before entering the convenience store to buy water. When he emerged, the food was missing. After reviewing the store's security footage and identifying the thief, Mr. A lamented that the money he spent was his last remaining cash, which he had intended to use for a treat. With no money left to buy replacement food, he must now settle for instant noodles instead. He pleaded with the perpetrator, saying that everyone struggles financially, and the stolen meal might have been important to someone else.

Officers are currently conducting interrogation. On July 13, 2026, police reported progress in the exam fraud case involving DLA officials. After the DLA filed a complaint with the Crime Suppression Division requesting prosecution of those involved, Police Deputy Commander Pol. Lt. Gen. Kritsada Kanjanalong, Crime Suppression Commander Pol. Lt. Gen. Nattasak Chaowapasakhai, and Crime Suppression Division Chief Pol. Maj. Gen.

All three face three charges: bribery and corruption, destruction or concealment of documents belonging to others, and violations of the Computer Crime Act for entering false data into a system. Two suspects—Winn and Satporn—have been arrested and are in custody at the Crime Suppression Division. The third suspect, Sergeant Major Phichit, recently arrived at the Crime Suppression Division and is currently undergoing interrogation.

At noon on July 13, 2025, a 35-year-old mother identified as Ms. Pang filed a complaint with media seeking justice for her 14-year-old daughter, a Grade 9 student at a Pattaya school. Two Grade 10 male students from the same school climbed over the fence to her home late at night and dragged her daughter into a storage room, where they sexually assaulted her at around 2 a.m. on June 21.

Ms. Pang revealed that she learned of the assault two days later from her daughter's friend. After confronting her daughter, the girl confessed the entire ordeal. The mother filed a report with Nong Prue police, but twenty days have passed with no progress in the investigation. The perpetrators have spread rumors about the incident throughout the school, and one even broadcast the story on social media, falsely claiming the girl was willing. The humiliation has left the girl traumatized and unwilling to attend school. A former local politician even attempted to mediate the case by offering 5,000 baht in compensation, which the mother rejected.

The incident occurred at the family home on Chai Phruek 2 Soi, Nong Prue, Bang Lamung, Chon Buri. The two suspects, named Ti and Te, both 15 years old, had been invited by the daughter to retrieve an electronic cigarette. They climbed over the fence without permission, dragged the girl into a tool storage room and bathroom, and assaulted her despite her resistance and pleas that her parents were sleeping inside. The girl said she was silenced by their hands and froze from fear. After the assault, both suspects fled. The girl now refuses to leave her room and the school has been unable to take meaningful action while the case remains pending, prompting her parents to withdraw her and enroll her in another school.
