A 51-year-old man accused of committing multiple home burglaries while naked has been arrested in Chok Chai district.
Chaliaw Khramkrathok was stopped and taken into police custody while riding a motorcycle in tambon Tha Yiam of Chok Chai district on Tuesday afternoon.
He was named in arrest warrants for multiple burglaries in Chakkarat, Khon Buri and Nong Boon Mak districts 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 Chakkarat and Nong Boon Mak districts in March, and into four houses in Khon Buri district last month, police said.
Mr Chaliaw stole personal valuables and cash and was often naked when he committed the thefts, and 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.
