Police arrested the trio, Jirayu Jansuwan, 18, and two 17-year-old boys after reviewing CCTV footage of them wheeling away motorcycles parked in Phuket Town, following several reports of bike theft from the area on Thepkasatree Rd.
“Some of the bikes found at the suspect’s place were in good condition and others had been stripped down for parts,” said Phuket Police Commander Maj Gen Patchara Boonprasit.
Jirayu reportedly confessed to the crimes, telling police he would look for unsecured motorcycles, which he would push to his place before stripping them into parts to sell on Facebook.
