Two brothers arrested as accomplices in a burglary in Bangkok's Sai Mai district on Sunday claimed that they had been forced to take part in crime.
Metropolitan Police chief Pol Lt-General Winai Thongsong told the press yesterday that Sutthisak Oonman, 22, and Surasit Oonman, 19, had been arrested this week in Din Daeng. They had a 32-inch TV and four wristwatches in their possession.
The gang reportedly broke into the home of Lamjuan Mukkatok, 58, at Supalai Estate and made off with valuables worth Bt1.5 million. Winai said police had collected evidence, including fingerprints and security footage, before issuing arrest warrants for the two brothers. The duo admitted that they took part in the burglary and were reportedly each paid Bt10,000 for taking part.
