On Sunday right after midnight, the Sriracha Police were called by people who reported an attempted theft and bodily harm on the Bangpra Reservoir-Naplaaw Road. The attack happened to woman, Mrs. Yupa Kreua-kaam, aged 49, who was abducted and slapped in her face many times by the 2 male robbers, aged 17-18. These thugs had followed her on their motorbike, while she was riding her motorcycle home, taking her usual route. Then these ruffians drove up beside her, and shoved her motorcycle to the ground.
After her bike fell over and Yupa was lying on the ground, one of the robbers dragged her to sit in the front seat of the bike. Then he jumped on her bike to drive them into a dark bushy area, while the other thief drove the robber’s bike.
The one driving her bike threatened her to tell what was underneath the seat. Wisely, she did not tell them that it was 50,000 baht. She tried to look at the crook’s face, but she got slapped many times for trying. Then, passing a group of people sitting at Uncle Chob’s Restaurant, Yupa decided to scream out for help. She decided to risk it, as it was do or die at this point, because after this restaurant, there would only be bushy areas with no people, and she would probably be killed.
Clever Yupa decided to switch off the bike’s motor, and when the engine was off, she screamed again, and the locals ran out and saved her; however, the 2 robbers were able to flee the scene. The police started tracing the suspects immediately, and believe they must know of Yupa’s movements and work habits, and clearly expected to snag something valuable underneath her seat.
