Suspect Arrested After Drawing Knife on Police
A 33-year-old man was arrested in Chachoengsao Province after CCTV footage linked him to market thefts; he drew a knife on police during his capture and now faces theft and assault charges.
On August 23, 2025, Lieutenant Colonel Sarawut Nuchnarote, superintendent of Bang Lamung Police Station, ordered an investigation team to track down a suspect following the release of CCTV footage on a community Facebook page showing a man allegedly stealing items from a market. Police discovered the suspect was hiding in an abandoned house in Moo 1, Bang Lamung Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District, Chachoengsao Province, and arrested Inthanon, nicknamed 'M Khiuyak', 33, a local resident.
Police recovered multiple items including a 24-centimetre stainless steel knife, a black t-shirt, short denim trousers, a pair of flip-flops, and four plastic power outlet boxes. During the arrest, the suspect wielded the knife and attempted to stab officers to escape, but police subdued him and secured the weapon.
Investigation revealed that some of the clothing matched what the suspect wore on the day of the incident. The four plastic outlet boxes were found along a road in Bang Lamung Soi 21/1, which the suspect led officers to recover. Police charged him with theft occurring at night and receiving stolen property, as well as attempting to injure an officer performing his duty. He was taken into custody pending further legal proceedings.
