CHON BURI: Authorities have actually jailed 2 guys for the theft of power cable televisions along the Pattaya-Rayong freeway that closed down the CCTV system along the inter-provincial highway last month.
Highway cops nabbed Anulak Obchoo, 35, and Traiphop Buahom, 31, in tambon Huai Yai of Bang Lamung district about 12.30 am on Wednesday. They were called in arrest warrants released by the Pattaya Court.
At your house cops discovered about 40 kilogrammes of copper, lengths of power cable television amounting to about 100 metres, and cable television cutters.
Late last month cops disrupted a gang taking cable television from the Pattaya-Rayong freeway in tambon Nong Prue of Bang Lamung district. A 38-year-old Lao guy called Xammao Boutakeo was jailed. The others escaped.
The gang triggered about 10 million baht in damage due to the fact that the CCTV system closed down along the whole 32 kilometres of the Pattaya-Rayong (Map Ta Phut) freeway, according to cops.
The jailed Lao guy blamed the 2 Thais, stating they were his managers.
Mr Anulak presumably informed cops his gang had actually taken power cable television from the freeway in Chon Buri and Rayong provinces about 50 times. They offered the copper in the cable televisions to ditch stores and made about 20,000 baht each time.
Another member of the gang was still at big, cops stated.
