Police chief dismisses rumours about key burglary suspect
There are rumours that the key suspect in the burglary of Transport Ministry permanent secretary Suphoth Sublom's home last month is being protected by a personal security detail and is on the run in Laos.
Bangkok police chief Pol LtGeneral Winai Thongsong immediately dismissed this report, adding that talk of the alleged ringleader Weerasak Chuelee travelling freely in and out of Vietnam and China was unfounded.
“We found that these rumours about him are just not true,” he added. “There are so many rumours about him – that his movess are being financed and that he is being protected by bodyguards. We don’t know if these guards are Thai or Lao. These are just tipoffs.”
