Husband And Wife Arrested For Motorcycle Theft Spree

A husband-and-wife theft duo who prowled residential areas stealing motorcycles have been arrested. The two suspects, dressed in sleepwear and wearing helmets, rode to a dormitory in Moo 7, Chiang Rak Noi Subdistrict, Bang Pa-In District, Ayutthaya Province on July 24. The woman pushed an unlocked Honda Wave motorcycle away while her husband waited on a separate bike, and security cameras captured the theft clearly.

When the victim returned on July 26 and discovered the motorcycle missing, he reviewed the CCTV footage and filed a report with Bang Pa-In Police Station. Within less than 24 hours, investigators learned the suspects had fled to Uthai District and discovered the stolen motorcycle being sold on a Facebook group for used and seized vehicles at 17,000 baht. Police arranged an undercover purchase at a gas station in Uthai District.

When the suspects arrived, officers identified them as Anon, 31, and Sarakam, 30, a married couple. Both confessed to conducting midnight motorcycle patrols, targeting vehicles left unlocked, and specifically choosing Honda Wave models because they are popular and quick to resell. Investigators charged them with nighttime theft while concealing their identities and using vehicles to facilitate their crimes. They were detained pending prosecution.
