Bangkok Heist: Siam Boonsom Leads Capture of Vintage Collectibles Thieves

In a city that never sleeps, where the neon lights compete with the stars, an audacious caper unfolded under the cover of broad daylight in the vibrant metropolis of Bangkok. Picture this: a bustling warehouse in Lat Krabang, storing treasures that caused many eyes to glaze over with envy—vintage collectibles worth a king’s ransom. But in the blink of an eye, these priceless items vanished quicker than morning mist.

The caper seemed like a scene straight out of a heist movie. On the lazy afternoon of June 9th, as the city buzzed with its usual symphony of tuk-tuks and street vendors, the police sprung into action. Leading the charge was none other than Police Major General Siam Boonsom, flanked by his trusty deputies. They rallied the troops from the Metropolitan Police Bureau and Rom Klao Police Station.

The trio of miscreants—Kritsada “Dahim” Romklao, Chaloemphon “Golf,” and Sutthiphong “Dui”—took their criminal exploits to new, rather adventurous heights. There was something poetic about their choice of haunt: the tranquil residence on Phatthana Chonnabot Soi 3, Lane 17, nestled right in the heart of the Lat Krabang district. It was from here that the winds of an enigmatic whistle-blower arrived—a 67-year-old gentleman, enigmatically known only as A, who realized the gravity of his loss. His warehouse, once a treasure trove, now echoed emptiness that matched even the most unraveled of tapestries.

The list of plundered goods read like an auctioneer’s greatest hits. Imagine a gleaming Toyota pickup, appraised at 250,000 baht (about US$7,650), swiped alongside an Isuzu Trooper worth 450,000 baht (US$13,780) with the panache only misfits on a spree could muster. And as if that wasn’t enough, a Nissan Safari stood luxuriously at 500,000 baht (US$15,310), presiding over the inventory of mystery motors whisked away.

It wasn’t just automobiles that rumbled their way outwards. The gang, having taken a liking to industrial marvels, absconded with three Mitsubishi diesel engines worth a cool 135,000 baht (US$4,130), as well as a Nissan engine valued at a solid 35,000 baht (US$1,070). Kawasaki GTOs and Yamaha RXZs, numbering six and ten respectively, joined the fleeing carnival of steel horses.

The masterminds orchestrated this opera of theft with the kind of precision seen in an artist’s deft stroke. What they failed to account for, however, was their yearning for a late-night snack attack. At the fateful crime scene, investigators struck gold—not in the form of jewels, but in a humble convenience store food bag, left carelessly behind. Inscribed with a phone number, this innocent bag sparked an electronic breadcrumb trail leading straight to our culprits.

Dahim, the bold ringleader with a colorful criminal résumé, emerged as the nexus of the investigation. His flashy abode was a living museum of mismatched motorcycle parts and an infamous red Kawasaki GTO, which sat outside like a crowned jewel. But what a sight it was—officials uncovered tools and water pumps believed to be bounty from their covert operations. In the underbelly of this abode, the gang was found sawing away at motorcycle parts, ankle-deep in the paraphernalia that often tells its own stories.

During their melodramatic confession, the trio candidly admitted to scouring the cityscape for easy targets, preferring warehouses unsuspecting and unguarded by Big Brother. Lure of the lucrative flip on old vehicles and bicycles was the grand motivator, but pride and hunger—oh, merciless hunger—broke even the best-laid plans. During their escapade, the pangs of hunger tugged at their focus, leading them to order sustenance right to the crime scene. Such are the quirks of the universe that a mere meal unraveled their criminal cloak.

What they stole filled their coffers briefly, part funding their indulgences, part fueling their pursuit of forbidden highs. But now, the weight of their choices pressed hard as they stared at a future entangled with theft charges, leaving them counting the cost at Rom Klao Police Station.

As these thieves await their day in court, the streets of Bangkok continue to pulse with life, every corner with its secrets awaiting the next curious mix-up of fate and folly. Who knows what tomorrow might bring? Today, though, justice tasted particularly sweet.
