At 5:30pm, police received a call from Tesco Lotus Thalang security who advised them that a car parked at the store had been broken into.

Lt Wichoti Meepop, an inspector from Thalang police, arrived at the scene and met with the vehicle owner, Phasuk Ohara, 43.

Ms Phasuk told police that she had gone to the store with her son and his friends, and at about 5:25pm an announcement was made for the owner of a veicle to go to the car park to check their car.

“It was my car that they announced so we went out to the car park to check. When we reached the car we found that the rear right passenger window had been cut out and an iPhone, iPad mini and two backpacks had been stolen,” said Ms Phasuk.

A witness told police that he took a video of the suspects while sitting in his vehicle with his wife.

He said, “Three foreigners got our of a dark grey car, we believe a fourth person was still in the car. The three men walked around the car park and were acting suspiciously.

“When they got to the victim̕s car they cut out the rear window, stole the items, got back into their car and drove away.

“We immediately contacted the store̕s security,” he said.

Lt Wichoti told reporters, “The suspects did not smash the window but cut it out like professionals. We are currently checking all CCTV in the area and on Thepkassattri Rd to find the suspects and the getaway vehicle.”
