Gang of burglars repeatedly targeting houses in Maenam Soi 5

A gang of burglars are making life a misery for the residents of Maenam Heights in Soi 5 in Maenam. In the last three weeks one resident has been burgled twice, another has had three iPads stolen, a French resident had their computer stolen and one resident who was watching TV noticed that a ladder had gone missing, walked into the bedroom to investigate and caught sight of a man about to burgle her house, when the man realized he had been spotted he ran off.

The fearless criminals have been robbing these houses between 2pm and 4pm making use of the present hot weather to gain entry via open windows. The residents believe that the houses are being targeted because of their remote jungle location and believe the gang has a look out on the main ring road in Maenam.

If anybody has any information as to who may be operating in the Maenam area please contact the police immediately, residents of Maenam Soi 5 should be extra vigilant at this time and ensure windows in unoccupied rooms are kept shut.
