Police officers arrested fifteen members of a gang calling themselves the “Saming Phraram Gang” on August 12 in Chiang Mai’s Muang district. The gang was made up largely of teenagers aged between 14 to 17, with the exception of the leader, Somkid Surat, aged 26.
The gang had committed ten robberies over the course of two days. They targeted university students and stole possessions including cell phones, cameras and motorcycles. The gang would ride motorbikes along various roads in Muang Chiang Mai. On finding a victim riding alone, they would follow the bike and kick it so the rider fell down. They would then attack the victim before stealing their possessions, including the motorbike. They sold these items and bought ya ba with the proceeds.
Chiang Mai Provincial Police deputy commander, Pol. Col. Chamnan Ruadreuw, revealed that the police, acting on information, arrested the entire gang at a hotel in the Santiham area, Tambon Chang Puek. They were charged with theft and receiving stolen goods.
