Thalang police first stopped Prasert Tortip, 20, in Soi Klong Kampaeng in Pa Khlok, after noticing that he was riding a Honda Scoopy I that matched a description given by some of the burglary victims.
He was wanted on an arrest warrant issued in November last year.
His confession led to the arrest of the second thief, Saroj Sepsod, 26, whom Prasert described as “the leader of the gang”.
Saroj was arrested in his home in Moo 3 in Pa Khlok at 11:30 am. He was also on the wanted list, after a warrant for his arrest was issued in August last year for burglary after dark.
Police seized numerous items that the duo had stolen, including wallets, mobile phone and chargers, necklaces, glasses and more.
Eight burglary victims who had filed complaints came to the police station this morning and were able to identify some items stolen from them, though not all. Police said a total of 11 people had been robbed by the two men.
Saroj admitting robbing the houses in the area and selling some of the stolen items at discounted prices to friends and other local people.
He was charged with breaking and entering after dark, while Prasert faces charges of theft at night using a vehicle.
Among the robberies carried out by the two men were one in Bang Rong on January 10 and another at Mission Heights last Saturday (January 30).
