Four men who allegedly used drones to find easy targets before burgling foreigners’ rented houses on Koh Phangan have been arrested by police.
Tourist police arrested the four Myanmar men, aged 25-30 years, at a rented house in Moo 3 village on Koh Phangan about 5.30pm on Tuesday.
The arrest followed complaints about frequent thefts from tourists' accommodation on the full moon party island.
A police source said the suspects admitted they used drones to spy on houses rented out to tourists, looking for unlocked doors and valuables. When an easy target was found, they burgled the house.
They allegedly admitted they spent the money they gained on drugs. Police found 66 methamphetamine pills in the suspects’ possession.
