Police in Bangkok have arrested a security guard accused of stealing cash from donation boxes at Wat Pho after he allegedly climbed over the temple wall, covered his head with a cloth and recited what he described as a spell to conceal himself before carrying out the theft.
Lt. Gen. Siam Boonsom, commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, together with Maj. Gen. Pallop Aemla, deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, and Maj. Gen. Chaikrit Pho-a, commander of Metropolitan Police Division 6, announced the arrest of Ratchathan, 43, on 4 June. He was apprehended at the entrance to Soi Lat Phrao 136 in Bangkok’s Bang Kapi district at about 12:30 on 3 June.
The arrest followed a complaint filed on 30 May by representatives of Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram, better known as Wat Pho, regarding a night-time theft inside the temple grounds.
Police said he claimed that before carrying out the theft he apologised to the temple’s sacred spirits and recited what he described as a concealment spell that he believed would prevent others from noticing him.
