As The Nation reports, the arrest comes after the Udon Thani Provincial Court approved arrest warrents for two men. Narong Phumphuchit, 35, was successfully arrested, but accomplice Arthit Kongkarian is still at large.
Udon Thani Police Station superintendent said: “Their crime has emotionally devastated the victim’s family.”
The men had planned to make and sell amulets to foreign tourists.

Another bizarre theft was reported last week in Thailand, with a Chinese tourist trying to make away with a diamond by swallowing it.
