Police arrested Mr. Parinya ‘Noo’ Miphumirou, a 35‑year‑old man detained on a night‑theft warrant from the Criminal Court, after he escaped from the Sueksasara Police Station cell by convincing a guard to buy rice, then kicking the door open. He claimed stress from flooding at the court building, which had prevented his transfer to prison. After fleeing, he took a taxi to Ram Inthra Soi 77 and hid in a rented house on Soi Khu Bon 2‑1 in Kannayao, Bangkok, where investigators, acting on orders from the station commander, apprehended him at 18:00 on October 1. CCTV footage showed the taxi ride, and investigators said his escape was facilitated by the newly built station’s weak cell door latch. He was charged with escaping judicial custody and damaging public property, and is to be remanded to the Criminal Court on September 2 at 08:00.
