Police Hunt Woman on Bicycle After Raid on Isaan Singer's Home
Thieves on a bicycle stole about 100,000 baht in cash garlands from Isaan singer Pang's home in Udon Thani while she was touring in July, with police searching for a female suspect caught on CCTV.
On July 23, Natthadipart Khankhum, 32, known as Pang Isaan, leader of the Isaan Sound music group and granddaughter of the late Nok Noi Oraiporn, filed a report with Mueang Udon Thani police along with her personal manager Theerawat Sriubol, 36. They reported that thieves broke into her home and stole approximately 100,000 baht in cash from garlands given by fan club members.
CCTV footage shows a suspect riding a bicycle into the home around 3:39 a.m. on July 13. Police believe the intruder forced entry through the rear door, pushing aside reinforced mesh and breaking the lock. The garlands containing cash were completely taken from the second floor, where approximately 70,000 baht was stolen, leaving only one garland from a performer named Madam Pad Mee. On the ground floor, the suspect also took cash from a piggy bank and other cash garlands, totaling around 100,000 baht.
Pang revealed she was away on a mini-concert tour with the famous Nok Noi Isaan music group from July 8, performing in Bangkok and various provinces. Upon returning home on July 19 and checking her belongings, she discovered that all the cash garlands collected from fans during performances had disappeared. She contacted neighbors for CCTV footage, which showed a woman on a bicycle circling the area multiple times around 3 a.m. on the day of the incident. Police are now accelerating their search for the female suspect to press charges.
