Bangkok: Police collect evidence to request the court to issue arrest warrants for 6 suspects who robbed e-cigarettes at a Customs Department warehouse before driving and hitting a security guard to death. The investigators took Mr. J, who was responsible for receiving the stolen goods, to court for detention. He left a message to his beloved friend, 'If you find him anywhere, you'll definitely die.'
According to Thai News Agency, the latest development at Tha Ruea Police Station reported that yesterday, the police were able to take Mr. Disorn or Mr. J, aged 41, who was responsible for receiving items from the group of 6 perpetrators, in for questioning and charged with receiving stolen goods. From questioning Mr. J, the investigation was able to expand to the other 6 perpetrators. Currently, the police are going to the court to request arrest warrants for all 6 perpetrators on charges of robbery resulting in death, property damage, trespassing, and other charges that need to be considered. The police believe that all 6 perpetrators are still in Bangkok and have not fled anywhere. The police are tracking down all 6 perpetrators. If arrest warrants are issued, some of them will be able to be arrested immediately.
As for the CCTV, it was only able to capture footage of the moment when the victim was hit, but not the robbery. As for whether or not customs officials were involved, it was reported that they were not. It is expected that the person who gave the tip was someone from the community. As for other details, they cannot be told yet.
Later at 9:30 a.m., the investigator took Mr. Disorn, 41 years old, or Mr. J, to request the authority of the Bangkok South Criminal Court to detain him on the charge of receiving stolen goods. While being detained in the car, the suspect demanded justice, saying that he was not at fault and did not know anything about it. He only knew Mr. J as the perpetrators. After the incident, Mr. J and two other people left two boxes of e-cigarettes with him without paying him because he had known Mr. J since he was a child. Now he is very angry with Mr. J, to the point of saying, "If I see him anywhere, I will definitely die because he made me go to jail like this. I want to post bail, but I don't have the money." He also feels sorry for what his friends did to him and wants him to turn himself in and go to jail instead because he feels like a scapegoat.
Yesterday, the police were able to detain Mr. Bird, one of the six suspects, for questioning. Mr. Bird is currently being questioned at the Tha Ruea Police Station.
