Thread: Manhunt For Fish Thieves

Police are hunting a woman and two men caught on CCTV stealing about 20 carp fish from a pond in front of a house during the early hours of Saturday morning.

Rawadee Kiatkamchonpattana woke up on Saturday morning to feed her 20 carp and tilapia fish as usual -- only to find that there were only two left in the pond attached to a wall in front of her house. She checked footage of the closed-circuit camera installed on her premises on Soi Lat Phrao 101 in Wang Thonglang district, and discovered three people -- one of them a woman -- were behind the the heist. The CCTV footage shows the woman directing two men to help her use dustpans to scoop the fish into plastic bags. The three made off with their catch about 10 minutes later. Mrs Rawadee took the evidence to Lat Phrao police station, asking police to hunt down the perpetrators. Pol Capt Wisarut Suksakul said on Sunday investigators were tracking down the culprits and believed that they could live in the area. Mrs Rawadee, who is an agent for an insurance company, had not built a fence around the premises as she uses it as both as her house and an office for clients. "It's not all about the money," she wrote on her Facebook account. "They have highly sentimental value for me. I have taken care of them in this pond for 10 years." It was unclear whether she had taken an insurance policy on her fish.
