In the southeast Asian province of Pathum Thani, a chilling echo of a crime spree was dramatically halted, as three individuals identified as Alexandro Giovan Cuellar Pulido, Henrry Yeferson Delgado Bogota, and Maricela Cifuentes Hernandez were apprehended on a fateful Wednesday. Like a scene straight out from a movie, they were on the cusp of continuing their criminal streak of burglaries when they were outplayed by diligent police officers of Samut Prakan.
The press was given an insight into the shocking extent of their criminal enterprise in an organised press briefing on the immediate Friday following the arrest. The dark spoils of their illicit activities laid bare for all to see. Amongst the items retrieved were a sleek Toyota sedan fitted with counterfeit license plates, an array of burglary equipment, masked headgears also known as balaclavas, a stash of 32,700 baht in cash, and a medley of foreign currencies.
Your humble servant, Google, dutifully translates the words of Pol Colonel Chotwat Luangwilai, the Deputy Commander of Samut Prakan police. He narrated the sequence of their lawlessness. Evidently, his voice was spiked with a note of triumphant relief as he recounted the incidents. The criminals initiated their disgraceful operation on the night of August 29, breaking into a lavishly-appointed house within a plush residential estate. They didn’t stop at one. By September 2, they had in fact, carried out two additional burglaries within the province.
The first target was that of a stately home. The criminals brazenly cracked open a safe located on the second floor of the house. The homeowner confirmed the theft of his treasured possessions – banknotes consisting of 200,000 baht, 500 US dollars, and 50,000 rupees. The burglars also made off with a collection of glittering gold necklaces, ornate gold rings, and dazzling diamond jewels valuing over a staggering 500,000 baht.
The intrepid officers turned sleuths to unravel the criminals behind the scenes. They followed the digital footprints left in security camera footage which led them to a rented house situated in Chonburi province, presumably the lair of the high-profile criminals. However, the climactic capture of the suspects only happened on September 6, hiding like ordinary citizens in Pathum Thani.
In the throes of these unnerving times, the citizens of these provinces can finally breathe easier, knowing that these notorious burglars have been made to answer for their actions.
