Nonthaburi, Arsonist arrested at Pak Kret Police Station, claims stress from personal problems; police find suspicious links to gun theft case at police station for sale From the case of the fire at Pak Kret Police Station on July 16th at approximately 8:30 p.m., the director's room and the investigation document storage room on the second floor of the administrative building were burnt down. Initial assumptions are that it may have been caused by an electrical short circuit. Pakkret Police Station Investigation Team, together with forensic police officers, investigated to find evidence, checked CCTV footage from the scene and nearby, which recorded the incident while the perpetrators were setting fire, leading to the arrest of Mr. Patiwat, 28 years old, the suspect who set fire to the police station. During questioning, he confessed that before the incident, he rode a motorcycle to buy oil in Soi Than Samrit, Tambon Tha Sai, Amphoe Mueang, Nonthaburi Province. Then he took off the license plate and rode t o park at a coffee shop about 200 meters before reaching Pak Kret Police Station. Then he carried a bottle of oil and walked up to the second floor of the old building, which was a room for storing various case documents, before pouring oil on it, setting it on fire, and running away through the stairs on the left wing of the building. Then he returned to the car and rode away towards Muang Thong Thani to change the license plate back to normal and change his clothes to disguise himself from being pursued by the police. The reason cited was stress due to personal problems. Her mother saw the official documents sent to her house by the police and she thought it was an arrest warrant. She got angry and scolded her severely and would not let her enter the house again. She did not know what to do, so she thought of setting fire to the police station. She chose Pak Kret Police Station because it was a local and closest to her. However, in reality, the documents sent were from another agency, not Pak Kret Police S tation. She also insisted that no one hired her. The investigation team is confident that Patiwat was hired to set the fire to destroy evidence because the police found suspicious links to the case of stealing guns from a police station to sell. Initially, he was charged with 'arson of public property'. Source: Thai News Agency
