A man suspected of cutting Dark Red Line cables to steal them has been arrested, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) said.
The alleged cable thief, Annop Khampromma, 31, reportedly cut and stole cables eight times. The value of the damage is under appraisal.
SRT Governor Nirut Maneephan revealed he had filed a complaint at Pratunam Police Station after being informed of the theft by the chief of Rangsit Railway Station.
Cable cutting does not affect the safety of train services, but it may lead to slower service on the Red Line.
The SRT governor has instructed relevant agencies to clear weeds along the fence to facilitate thorough surveillance and to prevent further crime.
Nirut said he had ordered the follow-up and prosecution of the perpetrators to the full extent of the law, with both civil and criminal cases to claim damages. The case is a civil offence related to a criminal case. In addition, charges of trespassing, causing risk in operation of the service and damaging government property will be pressed.

A ponzi scheme through an online application has defrauded over 4,000 people and their losses could amount to over Bt1 billion, the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) revealed recently.
More than 4,000 victims have reported the alleged “Nas App” fraud.
Victims first reported the fraud to the CCIB on September 4.
The app allegedly tricked victims into investing in a Ponzi scheme.
The “Nas App” claimed to be a middleman for trading stocks, gold and bitcoin. The CCIB initially expected that more than 10,000 victims could have suffered total losses of 6 billion baht.
CCIB commissioner Pol Lt-General Kornchai Klayklueng revealed that the first 20 victims who reported the alleged fraud had lost 9 million baht in total.
The CCIB created a QR code for other victims to report the case. The agency said 4,282 victims who had suffered total damage of 590 million baht had reported the case so far.
Kornchai said that the company was registered by a 23-year-old man named Pakawat (surname was not revealed). The “Nas App” case could be as big as the “Forex 3d” case.
Kornchai added that the CCIB had contacted the Department of Special Investigation and the Anti-Money Laundering Office to investigate the money trail.

Eco-traveller Jirayu Ekkul updated on his Facebook page that a total of new Brydes whales were born in Thailand since 2020.
Two new whales were found last year, while eight others were recorded in 2021.
According to the page, Jirayu Ekkul Wildlife Photography, the administrator said that the new members have secured the future of bryde’s whale population in the Gulf of Thailand, from the previous numbers of around 70 to 80.
Of the new members, Jirayu said that he had seen six of them since they were very young.
“If the grandmother and mother whales are the backbone of the Gulf of Thailand, the children therefore are really the future. Some of them are the next mother of the sixteenth species in the reserved list of Thailand,” his post read.

The Chao Phraya Dam will increase the draining rate to prepare for more water flowing from the North and Northeast regions as a result of a monsoon trough and the tropical depression “Dianmu” that has downgraded into an active low-pressure cell over Khon Kaen province.
“Currently Chao Phraya Dam is draining the water to irrigation systems of provinces located below the dam, such as Ayutthaya, Ang Thong, Sing Buri and Chai Nat at 2,100 cubic metres per second,” Krisada Sriphermphan, director of Royal Irrigation 12 Office, said on Saturday.
“We estimated that in the next one or two days more water mass will flow from provinces above the dam, and we have to increase the draining rate to 2,400 cubic metres per second to keep the water in the dam at an optimal level.”
Krisada added that the increased draining rate can cause some areas in these provinces to experience overflows and floods, especially in low plains, riverside communities and those not protected by flood levee.

“We advise people in these areas to be prepared by moving their properties to a higher place and keep updated with the latest meteorological reports,” he added.
Chao Phraya Dam is a barrage dam in Sapphaya district, Chai Nat province. It regulates the flow of the Chao Phraya River as it passes into lower central Thailand, distributing water to an area of 11,600 square kilometres in 17 provinces as part of the Greater Chao Phraya Irrigation Project.
