Arrested at Railway Station: Former Sales Representative Embezzled Company Funds for Personal Debt
A 40-year-old former sales representative was arrested at Rangsit Railway Station after embezzling 120,000 baht from her plastic container company in 2022, spending customer payments on personal debts instead of depositing them.
On May 10, 2025, police arrested Ms. Nam Phueng (surname withheld), also known as Oy, age 40, at Rangsit Railway Station in Pathum Thani Province based on an arrest warrant from Thanyaburi District Court dated March 19, 2025, on charges of embezzlement. The arrest came after officers learned she was preparing to flee to northern Thailand.
The suspect began working as a sales representative for a plastic food container company in June 2022, responsible for selling products and collecting payments from customers in both cash and bank transfers. In September of that year, she received 120,000 baht from a customer in two installments of 60,000 baht each, but instead of depositing the funds into the company account, she spent the money on personal expenses. When the company discovered the discrepancy, they filed a complaint.
During questioning, the suspect admitted to the embezzlement and claimed she had already spent the money on debts. She made a repayment agreement with the company, agreeing to pay 12,500 baht monthly for 10 months. However, she paid only one installment before fleeing. Police also discovered she had committed similar crimes multiple times previously. She has been transferred to Lam Luk Ka Police Station for further legal proceedings.
