A 34 year old woman reported her motorcycle stolen by her boyfriend, prompting police action in Taling Chan district, Bangkok. The woman later admitted the theft claim was false, driven by anger over alleged domestic abuse.
Officers at Taling Chan Police Station were informed of the theft yesterday, July 13. The woman, identified as Kanda, alleged that her motorcycle, registered in Bangkok, was stolen by her boyfriend, Kritsada.
The incident reportedly took place at the entrance of Chaiyaphruek 13 Alley. Acting swiftly, officers tracked the motorcycle to the Chaiyaphruek Tunnel area, apprehending Kritsada near Seri Golf Course on the railway road in Taling Chan district.
Once Kanda and Kritsada were brought to the police station, Kanda retracted her statement, clarifying that there had been no theft. She explained that her report was made out of anger, following an alleged assault by Kritsada, who had taken her motorcycle.
With the situation resolved, the motorcycle was returned to Kanda, and she contacted emergency services to cancel the initial report, reported KhaoSod.
The Metropolitan Police Bureau has since issued a reminder to file accurate reports, warning that false claims may result in legal consequences for filing a false report.
