A group of 11 thieves and one middleman are being held at the Khlong Tan police station for interrogation. The gang, aged between 14 and 23 years, allegedly committed 16 vehicular robberies in numerous areas across Bangkok and sold the loot to Thanakorn Yuttharoj, 34, for THB8,000 to THB15,000 per vehicle.
Police said that they arrested the gang at Chonburi’s Bang San Beach and subsequently raided Thanakorn’s storage space in the Bangkapi district.
