A 51-year-old man accused of committing multiple home burglaries while naked has been arrested in Nakhon Ratchasima.

Chaliaw Khramkrathok was arrested while riding a motorcycle in Chok Chai district on Tuesday afternoon.

He was named in arrest warrants for multiple burglaries in the area since March this year.

According to police, the suspect has a house in Chok Chai district but tried to avoid arrest by living outside in paddy fields.

He had broken into several houses in March and four in September, police said.

Mr Chaliaw stole personal valuables and cash and was often naked when he committed the thefts. He was filmed by security cameras.

He told police that he took off his clothes because he did not want to be recognised by his clothing. Sometimes he stripped off because his clothes were soaked by rain.
