Police arrested a 48-year-old man for breaking into a school in Udon Thani municipality and stealing five air compressors, captured clearly on CCTV. The suspect, identified as Surakrai, age 48, was apprehended by Pol. Lt. Banteing Thaphayotha, investigator at Mueang Udon Thani Police Station, along with an investigation team who executed an arrest warrant at a staff residence behind the school where the theft occurred. Initially, the suspect denied involvement and threatened officers, claiming he was the "governor's son," but ultimately confessed when confronted with evidence. Officers discovered compressor pipes and a large quantity of electrical wire in his home, which Surakrai admitted to stealing as well. During questioning, the suspect insisted he was the "governor's son" and named the governor as "Churin," leaving both police and teachers baffled since Udon Thani has no governor by that name, leading authorities to suspect drug-induced delusion. Surakrai further claimed he previously worked as an air technician for an airline and that he had personally installed the stolen compressors at the school.
